GASTROPARESIS AND LACTOBACILLUS PROBIOTIC

Posted by denisef @denisef, Dec 19, 2022

I saw online that multispecies Lactobacillus probiotic might help with gastroparesis by increasing gastric emptying time. Has anyone tried it and if so did you notice any improvement in your symptoms???

Good to try the acupuncture (teas may be included). It really didn’t work for me (did it 3x), but that’s not to say it won’t for you. If you do it - stick with it & their diet recommendations.
Although my digestion is certainly slow, my stomach seems empty by evening. But getting up, moving around causes burping. Sometimes accompanied with slight headache tinges that come & go. I know I’m in trouble. Even if I think I’m
Ok, upon trying to sleep, I’ll feel & hear the familiar heart pulse in my ear, emanating into my head. Soon after, I’ll get these weird ‘ hills’ down along my left side (from side chest down to thigh). Then I know I’m sunk. Rounds of charcoal in water & deep Massaging of my stomach follows sitting in a chair. The gas will return & I’ll often not actually climb into bed til 4 AM or even later. As those symptoms buoy the night before, neither ginger or digestive tea or anything else I’ve found or been led to helps dissipate the building gas. Mind you, my symptoms never include nausea, acid reflex or such.

I can't believe a GI doctor can't figure out your problem. Maybe go to a doctor in a big city.
