Has anyone else been diagnosed with Vagus Nerve Dysfunction?

Hi @marko82 I am glad you found a solution. Just because you have those symptoms doesn’t mean you have the Vagus Nerve Syndrome. In general it is gastroparesis. Your cause may not be known. I also have found exercising to help with emptying the stomach sooner. Have you tried that? Besides watching my diet I include exercise at least 3 times per week. I am limited due to my imbalance issues but I tolerate as much as I can. Managing gastroparesis is challenging. I do what is needed to feel better. I am glad prevacid has helped. I am assuming you are using prevacid an over the counter med. if you really want to know the cause of your condition or exact diagnosis you can always consult a GI physician. I decided at this time to combat my symptoms with the knowledge I have. I have tried antacids and laxatives but offered no help for me. Thanks for sharing and keep learning to help yourself. I will be glad to help answer any questions. Wish you well.

Hi,
TKX for the informative reply. I looked up gastroparisis: http://www.MayoClinic.org https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gastroparesissymptoms-causes/syc-20355787 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gastroparesis/symptoms-causes/syc-20355787 I have some of those problems. They started in the 90's. Eating 1/2 a normal meal was close to normal digestion. I became actively lactose intolerant in 2002 & cut out all dairy. Still had lactose belly problems until I began taking OTC multi-digestive enzymes. I now take two caps w each meal. Type II diabetes in 2012 so no or low carbs. The Metformin the Dr put me on gave me gastritis. Was put on omeprazole Rx. Prevacid is the same chemical. Now I am 100% diet-controlled diabetic -> A1c @ 5.6, 5.7 is almost normal. Exercise doesn't help my stomach. Drinking ~10oz of water an hour after I eat does. Another glass at 10PM stops leg and foot cramps caused by dehydration. We take our bodies for granted until things start going wrong. I joke that I used to have a cast iron stomach but now it is rusting. Good Luck to you too. I'm glad you've found that diet and exercise helps.
