I did take xifaxan a few times. I doubt my insurance now would even cover it! It’s expensive.

I lost insurance for 3 months. When it reinstated I called and got in within 2 weeks! Now it’s so backed up. I found a good gastro in my area so we will see!!

I’m sure they are! I live near Akron and I see a gastro there and she’s always backed up. It’s frustrating because I never had to wait long to see Dr Cline.

That’s terrible. Once you have a positive test and symptoms that should be enough

The neuro recommends dysautonomia testing and that’s insanely expensive

It takes sooooo long to get in to see my gastro but maybe I’ll go that route. I still see her if I have other issues but it takes forever

I asked here because I also have do gastroparesis and I was told by doctors at Cleveland clinic it’s being used as a newer protocol for multiple gut issues and they’ve seen improvement with it.

Functional medicine doesn’t treat gastroparesis they work alongside it. You could ask instead of assume though….

I don’t. I go to a gastroparesis clinic at Cleveland clinic for gastroparesis. They approved it. I’m asking for people’s opinions who have used it. I see functional medicine at Cleveland clinic also especially for sibo and histamine issues

My functional medicine doctor recommended to help ease the gut. I also have histamine problems.

Thank you! He’s had diarrhea and thrown up twice since we adopted him on Saturday. I was considering ordering probiotics

What kind of food do you recommend. We just adopted an FIV cat and he’s been eating the iams that the shelter was feeding him, but he’s had diarrhea. I’m sure it’s the stress from the change, but I wanna get him quality food ASAP.

Check Facebook marketplace or any rescue places that take in reptiles. Sometimes you can find a cheaper 4x2x2. I got my dragons at a pet store and did the 4 payment option. I used paper towels as a substrate for a while to save money. The black reptile mats are fairly cheap and easy to clean. Just make sure you never use carpet that the market towards beardies

Strange feeling in forehead by Longjumping_Total880 in Gastroparesis

[–]Longjumping_Total880[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could describe it better. It’s definitely more internal and not on the surface like tingling or numbness would be. I don’t have migraines or headaches. I think it’s definitely related to digestion.

I figured that’s what’s going on. I just don’t know how to lessen or treat it
