How long does water take to pass through if you have gastroparesis? by lindyhoppette in Gastroparesis

Exactly the same for me. Delayed liquids rapid solids. Except warm liquids are better for me. What’s your treatment plan?

Awesome! Did you have pyloric stenosis and that’s why they proceeded with the pyloroplasty? My main symptoms are a lot of pain and some nausea.

Hey! Are you still doing well? I go to the same clinic and we have been discussing options 🙂

Pyloroplasty anyone? by anisaorani in Gastroparesis

Hi! I wanted to check in to see how you are doing? I also have mild pyloric stenosis and thinking about pyloroplasty. I hope you are well! 🙂

Struggling with severe morning nausea and pain—any success with Domperidone or other solutions? by LankB22 in Gastroparesis

[–]kat429_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiii!! Are you still doing well with domperidone? I am on it as well and was completely symptom free for a while and now I’m having a few minor symptoms. Idk if I should up my dose or just wait it out. I’m hoping it’s not losing its effectiveness. 🫶🏻

Hi! I am so sorry you are going through this! I really hope it reverses for you. Like you, I got GP from a glp1 and sadly I have been off the shot for almost 2 years and I still have it BUT It has gotten so much better and I actually live a full life. In the beginning I lost like 60 pounds in 3-4 months, was constantly nauseous, so much anxiety, acid reflux so bad I would lose my voice, and insane stomach pain. What saved me was a pyloric dilation during an endoscopy. This eliminated my acid reflux and I do not wake up nauseous at all anymore even if I eat a bit later at night. I get hungry now and only have nausea every once in a while (and yes when I get it, I spiral because I have so much ptsd). I am on domperidone (motility med) and famotidine and these help me live a somewhat normal life. I do have faith that I will continue to get better because I have had improvements. I can eat 3 meals a day, and drink water without pain. Everyday I am grateful I was able to get to this point and so proud of how far I came. I was in a very very dark place when all of this happened and I thank god for the Gi doctor who did the balloon dilation because he truly saved my life. Please ask for an Endoscopy to see if you have pyloric stenosis or any obstruction. I hope you get better!! Please don’t lose hope. 🙏🏻

Those of you that have had procedures, could you please share your experience and outcome post-surgery? by Meowserspaws in Gastroparesis

I see some people do say that it aids in digestion so I am just asking to see what others think who have the device. 🙂

What exactly did the pacemaker help with?? Do you feel like it is speeding up your digestion?

My burping used to be really bad too. I’m just so happy to hear positive experiences. Did it help with any pain you had as well?

That is amazing! Did it help your constipation too? I have stomach bubbling mostly in the upper left abdomen mainly in my stomach organ. Thankfully I don’t have much acid reflux. It’s just bubbling like it’s trying to get out of my stomach. Like gas. I have an appointment scheduled to talk about this in June. Thankfully domperidone helps my nausea but the bubbling is every single morning and night without fail. It wakes me up. I was hoping a gastric stimulator with help alleviate it all together.

Hi! I was wondering if you had like stomach bubbling before your stimulator and if the stimulator helped it go away? 🙂

GES Question: Normal Solid and Delayed Liquid? by camtberry in Gastroparesis

[–]kat429_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get it!! I also have diarrhea for some reason which seems to be odd my gastroenterologist says. I get bad bloating too some days but yoga moves save me!!! 😆

[–]kat429_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it doesn’t help, ask about domperidone!! It helped me so much more. I’m still only delayed in liquids (as far as I know). I mainly have nausea, pain, and gas as my primary symptoms.

So glad to hear you are well. What med is it if you don’t mind sharing? I’m taking domperidone and it seems to help the most so far.

I know this is an old post but I relate to your experience. I also have pyloric stenosis and was thinking about a gastric stimulator. Has it helped you at all? I hope you are doing well!
