Gasteoparesis

by Ross2282, May 22, 2009 01:34PM
I have been dealing with gasteoparesis for about 2 years now. It started relatively soon after I had my gall bladder taken out. I have been seeing a gastroenterologist for the entire term and recently the severity of the gasteoparesis has worsened. I have had 3 gastric emptying tests, 2 endoscopies and recently have been put on medication. Zegerid for GERD is a miracle drug for me for acid reflux. However, it doesn't do anything for the vomitting.
I have tried reglan, erythromyacin, and just received a RX for Domperidon yesterday. Because the reglan didn't work, I am not too thrilled about the possibility of the domperidon working. I have lost 21 pounds in the last 9 weeks and I am at my wits end. My new doc wants to do CAT scans, motility studies, and maybe another GES. What gives??? I am too young for this!
