Gastroparesis
Hi
I'm a 40 year old who has just been diagnosed this year with idiopathic gastroparesis, after 5 years of gradually worsening GERD. In Feb. this year I had a nissan fundalplication for the GERD. After that I had a bloating problem. The doctors finally diagnosed gastroparesis after several stomach emptying studies. The last one showed that after 4 hours I still had 42% of the meal in my stomach. I have tried propulsid, but it causes me to have too many arrhythmias. I then tried erythromycin for 2 months but even in low doses it caused too much irritation and discomfort. I am presently on reglan 5mg ac and hs. This seems to be working fine. I still cannot burp since surgery, one Dr thought this is a problem the other says it isn't. I still have some problems with early satiety and bloating. My questions are: will the gastroparesis get better or worse? and where can I find more information on the disease? I have tried NORD and APHS. Nord had a little info. Do you know when they will approve Domperidone?
Thanks Sheila

I am 43 years old and have been diagnosed with Gastroparesis about 6 months ago. Always feel nauseous and vomit every 10 days or so. Even when I am not vomiting I feel terrible and extremely tired. I am on Reglan and Domperidone, neither of which seem to be helping. It is extremely frustrating and depressing. I have lost weight and do not feel like eating. Any foods seem to work well for anyone out there?
Hi all! My heart goes out to you all! Heavy sigh. I have gastroparesis, colonic inertia, PVC's (heart palpiations), and lots of ANXIETY! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am 36, live in WI, am married with a child. Would like to hear from you rw-***@****
