I have Gastroparesis .. the post operative type.. where some of the nerves that surround the stomach were damaged and my stomach is slow to empty.

I was diagnosed with this problem after suffer for long time with digestion issues.
After my results and once at ER o was prescribed a powerful medication to help with my digestion that works really well.
After consulting with my gastro he was against the medication due to the long list of side effects instead he told about one similar with no problems with dangerous side effects but would be available only from New Zealand .
Immediately came to my thoughts I could buy it from my country Brazil , and since then I have my supplies for my 95 years old mother that have the same issues , and I no longer have any problems with my digestion.

@ken82

Thank you!.. I'll look into that.. the foam doesn't always form to the point where it comes up ... Some times the smallest thing can set it off...If I eat slow...small bites...crunchy stuff crackers with the cheese that works... Broccoli never...trail mix is my snack of choice...dried fruit, mixed nuts, M&Ms. Liquids like Orange juice can start the resistance problem... Gin and Tonic works well in the summer .never more than one.. steak is really a task...to cut up that small.. pickled herring works as a fish smack..

might want to cut out the m n ms]
gin? very dilute can help, tonic? carbonated...try a light white wine

I don't know if you still check this site as your post was from 2019. However, I am wondering if your problem ever went away or do you still have problems with it. Thanks,
