Has anyone else been diagnosed with Vagus Nerve Dysfunction?

Hi @lsittll Vagus Nerve disorder is caused when the nerve does not work correctly to activate the muscles to aid in digestion. The stomach and intestines may not turn enough. Gastroparesis symptoms will be experienced. The stomach does not empty correctly taking foods a longer time to get digested. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, belching, bloating, heartburn, indigestion, regurgitation, or feeling full. There is no cure but it can be managed. Hope this helps.

I don't think I have the Vagus nerve disorder per se but I've had some of the symptoms you mention for 20+ years. I have found that eating 1/2 portions and drinking a lot of water about an hour later really helps.. Also taking something like Prevacid helps a lot too. The more I eat the longer it takes for my stomach to empty. Water does help even w that.

I am fairly certain that I had issues with my left vagus nerve. It was secondary to an infection. For months I had undigested food in my stool, significant inflammatory symptoms, and heart irregularities.
