Gastroparesis and lactobacillus probiotic

Your grandson's doc should be able to help him get it or he needs to find a doc who will prescribe it. Many will, some wont.

Thank you so very much for your help. I really appreciate it.

A person with gastroparesis absolutely needs domperidone to help the stomach empty. Beware of Reglan, it has serious side effects. Your Grandson needs to learn alot about the condition and managing it. It can be managed for most people.

Do you know what caused gastroparesis for your grandson? I assume he has had a stomach emptying test- that is the definitive way to diagnose it. There are surgical procedures, but it isnt clear how beneficial.

Has anyone ever done a 48 hour gastric emptying test? This is what the Mayo Clinic wants me to do. Any replies helpful.

What is a 48-hour gastric emptying test? pls reply. Thank you, and what is gastroparesis?

This is a helpful definition of gastroparesis:

Hoping @rlpete68 will return and share more about the 48-hour gastric emptying test that's been proposed.

Does the medicine domperidone stop severe forceful vomiting at all?

Thank you from the bottom of
My heart 💜 for your advice and help. I appreciate it so very much! 💚

I’m nit really sure what caused gastroparesis with my Grandsin. He lives with me and at 7 started vomiting everything he ate every night when he lay down for sleep every night for months. He had a procedure done by a surgeon called a pyloroplasty and a 360 degree Nissen fundoplication. He then had no symptoms at all for many years. Then he started vomiting terribly again and was told he needed a revision in his Nissen fundoplicatiin wrao again. The surgeon said wrao was slipped and did a revision in it which was successful and he had no symotoms at all for 4 years. His symotoms the returned terribly with vomiting terribly and very forcefully. In Aaugust 2024 we took him to the head of gastro de who then referred him to a surgeon that said he needed a revision in his 369 Nissen fundoplicatiin wrap, but this time he would do a 270 degree Nissen Fundoplicatiion wrap which is a half wrap instead of a 360 degree Nissen fundoplicatiin wrap and that after this my Grandson would be perfect. This surgery failed and my grandson is even worse now then before the surgery which is so very sad for him and us. He is home not able to eat with no hunger and inky eats a tiny bit kater at nught when he doesn’t feel Naseous. He wakes up every day feeling very sick tired and nauseous burping gagging etc. it’s a nightmare fir him and us to watch. He tried erythromycin and a scoop tigether. An hour later I took him to the ER forcefully violently vimiting which is now very hard to stop even on IVmeds for naseau. The compazine doesn’t work anymore and the last 2 times in ER they used zYorexa (olajnapine) is the generic if it which he got intramuscular because he couldn’t keep the oral down . Last time the hospital used Halo but was rough in him the next couple days as it was harsh on his body. I’m sorry I rambled on about his condition. He had a third surgery and wasn’t given a gastric emptying test until after his third surgery failed with the 270 degree Nissen fundoplicatiin half wrao revision he was given so I don’t know what caused his gastroparesis. His gastric emptying study did show a severe gastric emptying result . Now my Grandsin is just hanging in and we’re hoping to find something that works to help him feel better and be able to function without feeling so I’ll and having to go to the ER violently vomiting whenever he calls me. Thank you so very very much to anyone that read the book I just wrote about my grandson. Thank you also to the person that asked about what caused glhis gastroparesis and caring. You have no idea how much I appreciate your help and am praying for the best and for everyone to feel better quickly now 🙏
