gastroparesis and help treatment
I'm getting tested for gastroparesis, I had a test in 2018 but was never told I was borderline on my stomach not emptying. I've had stomach problems a long time , GERD, reflux, bloating, can't eat much and my constant cough. Some digestive problems can cause chronic cough. So it's the "rule out this game" now. Next stop my pulmonologist.
Have a great day and any information is welcomed

Good luck with your tests. I’ve wondered if I had this condition, but I don’t have enough symptoms, so I don’t think I do. I had a friend who had it and she had a surgical procedure for it. She later told me it was successful and she didn’t suffer anymore. I hope you can get answers to your questions and find relief.

1 ReactionI have gastroparesis for the last 10 year's complicated with malabsorption and chronic nausea. I am on a feeding tube into my small intestine and pump fed and flushed for 18 hours a day. It is not a kind disease. Some people can have it not as bad and still eat 5 small meals a day. I honestly hope you don't have it because it never goes away and seems to get worse as the years go by. I hope they can find a curable problem that you are having. Love and prayers ❤️ 🙏 ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

My test for gastro paresis came back negative. I am glad for that
What is the test used to diagnose this? I've had two endoscopies and each time I was told that I have delayed gastric emptying. Both were done for other purposes like acid based gastritis (negative). I guess I assumed they diagnosed that because after following the fasting instructions, I still had a certain degree food in my stomach. I have so many possible/probable GI issues, I couldn't even say for sure what symptoms I have from it outside of getting full early in a meal. I hope they can discover what is causing your symptoms earlier than later.
Do they know what caused your gastroparesis? Are you diabetic?
No I am not a diabetic. They don't know why. I believe it was from a gynecologist that did a simple procedure, but apparently decided to take on an abundance of scar tissue that you could not see through. I got really sick days after my so called simple procedure. I called and they just said it was normal. After 2 weeks and losing 20 pounds to 90 pounds I called again and said I needed to come in because something isn't right. They refused to see me. Finally I went to a gastroenterologist whom I still go to and he diagnosed me with gastroparesis. Then I just kept going downhill. I will always believe that the gynecologist cut something that he shouldn't have.

1 ReactionThe cough could be laryngopharyngeal reflux, LRP, which developed because of other issues. See if this information can provide you relief for part of your problems: https://jamiekoufman.com. So sorry you are going through all this.
