I have gastroparesis (of unknown origin). eat small meals, don't eat after 7 pm. I was put on reglan for a while but had some abnormal bloodwork because of it and had to stop.
gastroparesis is directly related ( a complication of ) to diabetes. It has to due with the nerves in the stomach being affected by the diabetes just like the nerves in a diabetics foot. It is a neuropathy. I know b/c my mom had this as one of her complications to her diabetes. You would be amazed at how many medical personnel never heard of it.
I'd go over to the diabetes section and seek support.
I'm not saying a person's thyroid can't indirectly affect the nervous system but this is a known diabetes complication.
They put my mom on erythromycin ( the antiobiotic) and a drug that helps the stomach empty faster. I know it does not make sense- an antibiotic but that's is how they treat it.
best of luck to you

Gastroparesis is usually related to diabetes but there are other causes and in many cases no explanation. If normal thyroid labs (even w/ hashi) then it's not the thyroid.
A related discussion,
gastroparesis and thyroid? was started.
Thank you everyone for your responses, they were most helpful.
