Gastroparesis? Delayed emptying? What next?
by dentalhy, Sep 03, 2008 09:07PM
Our 18 year old daughter is a recovered(ing) anorexic. Never a bulimic. Shortly after getting 'healthy', she developed this problem with certain foods. She will eat, and shortly thereafter, within moments/minutes the food will come right back up in her mouth. It is particularly troublesome with: pasta, lettuce/some vegetables, ice cream, etc.
She has had gastric emptying studies; scopes; etc. She shows some delayed emptying; some possibel gastroparesis. I am at my wits end. It greatly affects her 'social' life. She either spits (if she can) or reswallows (a few times).
We have seen three different gastro doctors; including a research doctor. He is puzzled. He said today it could have now become a habit. He now wants to try domperidone. I am thinking trying a nutritionist along with some biofeedback...etc. Any thoughts?

Before that, she can have a 2 day low-fructose diet trial. She needs to exclude all
- fructose: fruits and any fruit product, and any food containing high fructose corn syrup,
- sorbitol: soft drinks, "low sugar" chewing gum, any "low calorie" food, and
- fructans: wheat, onions, leeks, asparagus and artichokes
