How do you manage bloating gastroparesis and diabetes?

@achula1 When do you have nausea in the morning, when you get up, while drinking coffee or juice before eating a meal, or just after the breakfast meal? How fast do you eat the meal? How well do you chew the food? Those things and more can cause the nausea.. Ken

It starts after I get up. I have my typical glass of water and then I move onto my peppermint tea. I just have it waking up in the morning, I will force myself to eat something just so I will have something in my stomach to help.

@achula1 Do you sleep on a wedge that will lift your head 12" above the bed...I use a foam wedge that I cover with pillows.. Gravity has to be able to work .. Try it... I have to take nearly an hour to eat breakfast.. banana, toast, orange juice, coffee, Oatmeal with blueberries.. .. or eggs instead of Oatmeal.. (I am retired)....
When you vomit, Does the material come up easily? Ken

I don’t vomit, at least not yet. It’s nausea
I don’t sleep with a wedge, I have only gotten sick through the night and that was last week I woke up nauseated. For the most part I sleep well.

Yes, I'd do some online research on herb teas and learn what would be helpful. Also, maybe you need to change and simplify your food. Might be dairy. Or too much chicken? Or other common food allergies.

@achula1 Usually if you lie down before the stomach has emptied some of the undigested food in the stomach can come up into your esophagus...that sour tasting stuff is enough cause nausea... do not get prone at least 2 hours after eating.. Sleeping on several pillows or the wedge helps keep the undigested food in the stomach where it can get on with the digestion process of the slow emptying.. There are medications to fight the nausea feelings..

Had anybody taken the medicine DULoxetince HCI for gastroparesis?

I have gastroparesis but Duloxetine (antibiotic) was prescribed to prevent a secondary bacterial infection at an ER visit because I had caught a cold (rhinovirus but not COVID) and have COPD. ER doctor also prescribed Prednisone. I stopped the Prednisone after 2 days because I also have Type II diabetes and my blood sugars shot up into the 300s even though I wasn't eating. I also started to have diarrhea from the antibiotic so stopped the Duloxetine on the 4th day after checking with my primary to make sure this was ok. I could not tell that the four days of Duloxetine helped the gastroparesis any.

I was diagnosed with GP in March of 22 and went home very weak after 5 days in the hospital on clear liquids then liquids and soft foods after tests. Slow improvement stopped with a flare-up in May, then felt a little better after several days of liquids and soft foods. Another flare-up after that. And recently a major flare-up this past 8 to 10 days.

I am as diet-compliant I can be while still following a diabetic diet the best I can and a vegetarian renal diet for my kidney failure.

I am constantly nauseated but only throw up when I first get up (dry heaves.)

Any ideas, suggestions, thoughts will be appreciated. Help!

I highly recommend reading “The Diabetes Code” by Dr. Jason Fung.

Was diagnosed with gastroparesis a month ago. Am not diabetic. Was prescribed Domperidone. Have been taking it for a month now with no results. Very frustrating. Anyone else have this problem?
