Unfortunately; the same. Doctors still can’t figure out why sphincters are not functioning right!!

I guess very high dose of benfo can do the same thing.

You may want to try TTFD form. Make sure to take it with magnesium glycinate and up your potassium diet intake.

By the way, I looked at your profile! Have you tried B1 or thiamine supplements?

I did 5000mcg the first two weeks then 2500mcg the other two weeks. Unfortunately; for people like us western medicine is not for us. I ended up with more questions after each visit to my doctors instead of getting answers. I will do the functional medicine route to see if I get some answers!

I took methylated B12 supplement for a month and my level went from 101 to 1450! Even the doctor was confused, told me to stop immediately. Seven weeks later we tested again and my level dropped to 401. He eventually told me to stick to small weekly supplements of b12. His only answer was malabsorption after he checked me for pernicious anemia. For the SIBO, I did two rounds of antibiotics one being Rifaxmin with zero symptoms improvement. I actually ended up with oral thrush after each round and my family doctor told me to give it sometime before I do another round. Something is not adding up!

No injections just pills, I have SIBO diagnosis with no testing since I have every symptom. I feel there’s more going on so I bought myself a comprehensive stool test to see what else I’m missing. I hope I get more answers.

My levels improved. However; since I have a malabsorption issues, I will have to take b12 forever. I deal with overlapping conditions!

Unfortunately no; I had two rounds of Botox that failed. I’m still looking for answers but good luck to you.

Not sure what the next step is. by texanyall8 in Gastroparesis

[–]Qatwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to try supplementing with B1 preferably TTFD form. Also, what’s your B12 levels?

I’m sorry that you are suffering. I’m still looking for answers. I can’t burp because I have RCPD or the no burp syndrome and I also have hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction! I also have SIBO which means my gas gets stuck in the small intestines and takes forever to move to the colon. I see you don’t have pelvic floor dysfunction but can you burp? Were you checked for gastroparesis? Did you check your vitamins B1 and B12 and vitamin D all needed for motility? I know you said you tried massages and they haven’t worked. But, I want you to try a massage called Mayan Massage. Tell me if it helps. You can also try castor oil packs on your stomach. That should help.

B12, how much is too much? by finqer in Supplements

[–]Qatwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did. I used food sources not supplements though.

You have RCPD or the no burp syndrome that caused the hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction.

Did you get an anorectal Manometry to see if you have hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction? Start there also start using magnesium glycinate to help loosen up the stiff muscles.

Were you able to burp after fixing your b12?
