What can I do when in a gastroparesis flare?

In Canada there is a drug called Domperidone, Its not readily available in the states but you might be able to get it. This will help with digestion and bowel movement. Ask your gastroenterologist about this treatment. It helps me to manage during symptomatic days and has the least amount of side effects.

@peggyjean, thank you! Will try that and will look up healing touch! 🙂

I tried Domperidone in 2013 …. I had other stomach problems at the time, but they wanted me to try it and see if it helped anything, I had some side effects … I am getting old now and cannot remember what they were.

I got my prescription filled at a compounding pharmacy in my small town of Albany GA. I only got enough for two weeks. If it had helped … which it might have if I had not had other problems. .. I would have had to order it online to afford it. Insurance would not pay for it.

It does work great for many. I took Propulsid for a few months before they took it off the market. It worked well me.

Have been on Domperidone (in Canada) for approximately one month now with no positive results yet. My doctor has asked for an ECG, as this medication could have side effects.

I take lansoprazole every morning with a glass of warm water. I can usually manage the gastroparesis by diet. Very small meals and snacks. In a flair I get back to what the gastroenterologist said. Cooked fruits and vegetables cut in half inch pieces and lean meat. No fats. Good luck 🍀 and hang in there! 💜🦋🤗

I take an amazing medication called domperidom. Without it for 24hrsvand my stomach is in agony.. maybe you Dr or pharmacist can enquire about it for you.
