To Denise’s, No I do not have diabetes. I did have a pile of studies at the hospital and the diagnosis was a « classic case of lazy stomach » meaning that my stomach was not doing its job. This happened rather suddenly when I became quite Ill and couldn’t eat or sleep I felt so nauseous and bloated and my stomach ached. I was put on this regimen of medication and it began to work right away. Now if I go without the medication I have terrible heartburn and stomach ache. This happened when I went on vacation and forgot my pills. Had to chew on Gaveson the whole trip. In terms of diet
I found that it I was really important to cutdown on my portions for one thing. Also I have to be very careful of tomato
based sauces, although I can eat uncooked tomatoes. As well garlic raw is a no no but cooked in food is ok unless it’s too strong. Coffee doesn’t bother me. In conclusion you will learn through trial and error what you can eat once you are on medication. I introduced foods slowly until I figured out what and how much my stomach can process. Also drink water and keep hydrated.
