Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!
Digestive Health | Last Active: Aug 13 9:08am | Replies (460)Comment receiving replies
, I have been diagnosed with gastroparesis. Been trying the liquid diet, but can't do that all the time. If I eat a normal amount of food, the symtoms are worse. small amounts more often. I get acid reflex really bad, have to sit up at night till I fall asleep, All things I take for acid reflex slow down the emptying of the stomach, Can't win,. Any suggestions. Trying to get an appointment at Mayo in the gastrology dept. but no luck.

Hi people, please don't give up, there's a new medication on development it's called relamorelin (rm 131 ghrelin), google it, based on what i've read, it might be a huge help for people with gastroparesis! Please don't give up just yet, there's always hope, no matter what just keep on holding, science might give us another chance at living a normal life again!
My doctor wants to inject botox in my stomach. Any thoughts on that?<br />
My dr suggested that to me also but when I asked him how long it was good for I said no thanks<br />
<br />
I am sorry I do not know about the Botox. I am not sure if this suggestion would help you but I had serious digestive disorder and mixed connective tissue disease.
I went off Gluten and Dairy and no longer have these symptoms. Perhaps remove foods like the ones above and eating more easy to digest foods like rice
Bone both ETC, cooked vegetables ETC might help to normalize the stomach? Just a thought.
