I was just diagnosed with “lazy stomach” as the doctor called it. I refuse to take Reglan tho they all keep pushing me to. Mostly, I just live with it, like most of my other woes. A dietitian told me that lemon or vinegar helps taken before meals but I haven’t really tried that. I sometimes take warm lemon water in the morning but to loosen phlegm.

@darlia I have gastroparesis caused by chronic pancreatitis and the inability of my pancreas to produce digestive enzymes. I take enzyme replacements, but they only make things a little more tolerable and add in my opiates for pain an d I usually take two different meds for constipation daily and at times that is not enough to keep things moving. Does this help any? Is there any med you take that could b e a contributing factor?

One more thing LOL I'm also OCD and narcissistic, it says narcissism is rare but it's not so rare anymore

One more thing I've learned with nutcracker, the main procedure that seems to be working is POEM, can't remember what those letters stand for but I've a tiny Facebook group about 55 people so... I'm also narcissistic

I have scoliosis and anxiety too. I don't know of trauma to my body, but the doctor induced my mother's labor and later said he guessed wrong on my due date. I was born at least one month early and had no eyelashes or fingernails and my digestive system and breathing had trouble because they were not mature for birth yet. My mother said she had to keep sticking her finger down my throat when I was a baby and she'd pull out flem so I wouldn't choke to death. I took pills for anxiety for quite a while and they didn't seem to help and they slowed my reactions and I had some car accidents so I won't take them any more. I haven't had any more car accidents since I stopped taking them.
