Hi There:
sorry to hear about your GP. Sounds like you already had a gastric emptying test which is the "gold standard" to diagnosis this. The #1 thing to "manage this" is lifestyle changes. my diet has become more and more and more restrictive over the years to where now I am on 80% liquids/pureed type foods and I do not eat anything solid after 2 p.m. (the latest) otherwise I am up all night with "gas pain" from the food just "sitting" there. It is important to find a physician who specializes in this. Most GI specialists don't know the first thing about treating it. There are some motility agents you can try - but they are either very very expensive (insurance doesn't cover much of the newer ones) or they might not work for you - which they did not for me - they made my symptoms worse because they make the stomach contract but the food could not get out - so the pain was worse. I am having the pyloroplasty procedure in a few months - it is 90% effective for gastroparesis. Again - find a "digestive specialty center" near you . I went to a bunch of gastroenterologists and rather ran refer me they told me to "drink Ensure" - useless information! I do not have diabetes either - they think it was from a surgery I had years and years ago that damaged the vagus nerve. it has been a gradual thing - worsening gradually over many years...
