@kjn72 - I have read about the concept of a gastric pacemaker- that’s what we need! Are they in use?
Motegrity is a motility drug and moves things along at pace much better than what we are dealing with now.
It is also expensive, up to $200 a month. I ration it. I’m looking into getting it from a Canadian v pharmacy.
Medicare patients don’t qualify for manufacturer’s coupons.

Thank you for responding.
I haven't tried Motegrity, $200 better than 600.00, not great though, it is a good idea to ration it.
I am researching gastric pacemaker for motility issues, found it only for gastroparesis.
Had to use enema last night, barely any response, 1st time that happened and it concerns me.
How can I learn if MAYO has tried gastric pacemaker for motility issues?
Thank you
