I looked up "gastroparesis" and the descriptions sound like what I have.
causes contractions of the muscles that are paralyzed (without causing spasms elsewhere). Sometimes I feel a little muscle spasming in my abdomen - not often enough to be a problem, it's rather reassuring actually, it tells me that the medicine is working.
When I was in the clinical trials for dexloxiglumide, I was given the placebo for the first 6 months. I had to eat less because the food would not leave my stomach - my stomach got full and hurt. I was allowed to take 4 exlax every 4 days - the 3rd and 4th days were very uncomfortable.
Thanks, all of you for sharing information about this condition that we share.
