Recently diagnosed with Gastroparesis

I was told to take metoproclamide and when researching I see statistics show it causes Parkinson’s so I would not take it. I stopped eating. I’m watching carefully but it started back again now and I’m frightened. need help people.

Hello, New to the group. I'm trying to find out if anyone can recommend a doctor they saw at Mayo that was an expert in gastroparesis? Thx

How did they diagnose it? Because I think that's my problem and they haven't
really checked me out too much except for endoscopy and coloniscopy, and was told it's ibs-d.

How did they diagnose you? Because I think that that is my problem. But my Doctor has only done an endoscopy and a colanoscopy and diagnosed me with IBS-d.

Delayed Gastric Emptying test

Hi @papo and @anitannapa, Welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing how you were diagnosed @anitannapa. I thought I would share a link with more information on the different methods used to do the gastric emptying test. Here's some information I found that describes the test.

I'm not sure if it's an option for either of you but Mayo Clinic does have a Motility Clinic. Here's a link - https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/motility-clinic/overview/ovc-20357787.

Thank you for the information. I'm currently trying to get in for an appointment at Mayo. Since I would be traveling from the West to the East coast, I would prefer to choose my doctor vs being assigned one through the Motility Clinic (if indeed that is how it works). Any suggestions?

I think the Motility Clinic works as a multidisciplinary team so I'm not sure if you can make an appointment with a specific doctor unless you get a recommendation from someone and can request an appointment on their bio page. If you go the Motility section for Rochester on this page, it lists the doctors and you can read their bio plus there is a link to request an appointment - https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/gastroenterology-hepatology-digestive-care/sections/doctors-by-location-and-specialty/gnc-20356421.

Thank you for the information.

Inc reply to terree to @terree I’m newly diagnosed with this condition. My dr decided this after my gallbladder removal and I was still
having no hunger. I am scheduled for a 4-hour study of my gastric movements to try to pinpoint the cause.
