Badgut RN: Looking for answers to help with gastroparesis

@annieoh hello - I don’t think domperidone is new. I’ve been taking it for a couple of years after it was prescribed by my gastroenterologist for gastroparesis. He explained that I would have to call a mail order pharmacy outside the USA because the FDA would not approve it for use here. I get mine from Canada. It is approved for use worldwide except in the USA. It’s even over the counter in some countries. It helps improve stomach motility.

@pdilly @annieoh ,
I tried domperidone in 2013 and I had several side effects.. I don't remember what they were now and not sure where the paper is I wrote them on. I got the prescription from a doctor at the Mayo in Jacksonville. I had it filled at a local compounding pharmacy. My insurance did not pay for it and I don't remember the cost. Worth checking at local compounding pharmacy for first try.. I got two week's worth. I think I made it a week and a half before I said I'd rather put up with the disease than the medication. It works for many people though.
