Motility study

[Margot49]

Had one done last week in San Francisco, no results yet. We live far away and they will not give results over the phone. How stupid. Who wants to go that far when you are sick?
Has anyone had this test or been diagnosed with this?  How is it treated?

Thank you and all that is scary.  I have yet to hear from my doctor after several requests to get the results.  I did have a normal ESR of 24 but an elevated C-reactive protein of 5.6 and have no idea what that means.
I had a decent day yesterday but am very sick again this morning.  All I had for dinner was some grilled chicken, white rice and some lactose free milk.
Again, this all seemed to start when I had an infected tooth, was put on Keflex then 2 courses of Xifaxan that didn't help at all

Hi there!

Well, management of GI motility issues would depend on the region of dismotility, its severity and the presence or absence of associated complications etc. and aside dietary modification, may involve the use of medications, pacemaker devices or surgical procedures. It would be best to discuss the situation and the suggested management plan in detail with your treating gastroenterologist if a diagnosis of a motility disorder is made.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
