Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi Debbie,I too was dx with gastroparesis after months of diarrhea, indigestion, etc. They put me on Reglan (your med). I had problems with side effects though so couldn't take it. I was dx via gastric emptying study.I now eat very small meals and have increased my fiber to 25-30gms a day...stopped my glucovance (diabetic med) last summer and the diarrhea stopped within 24 hours (dr switched me to strictly insulin) so that was the cause of my diarrhea (either the sulfa since I'm allergic to the sulfa in the glyburide or the glucophage which is know to cause diarrhea)...glucovance is a combo of those 2 meds...I don't eat late in the day...I take protonix 40mg every 12 hours. I also hydrate really well. No more episodes of severe reflux. I do keep a bottle of mylanta close in case of emergency but haven't had to use it in a long time.

I was wondering if anyone had this diagnosis and how they were treated, results of treatment, etc. I really hope the treatment works because the symptoms have been really awful and have kept me in bed some days for 4 mos or so.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Debbie, we used to have a member who called herself Gastro Debbie & I'm pretty sure that she had gastroparesis. Are they attributing this to your sarc, or is there another possible cause? My daughter Ginny has gastroparesis, along with her chronic pancreatitis, but I've never been clear on which was the chicken & which was the egg. The Reglan worked pretty well for her, but with the pancreatitis they decided she needed a j-tube (feeding tube through the abdomen) in order to rest the pancreas. I've also had good success with Reglan on pregnant moms who are into the second trimester & still having problems with nausea & vomiting. Hope it helps!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Well, I must be another "Gastro Debbie". lol I was wondering if Reglan took awhile to get in your system and work? I have been on it two days now and still have some nausea. ' Thanks, Rose for the reply....

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hi, As I just wrote to Rose, I just started on the Reglan too and it hasn't taken care of the nauseau, hence the Mylanta bottle next to med too. I still have the nausea . I was on Protonix but when it didn't help , the dr. prescribed ondansentron (sp?). That helps sometimes , but not completely either. I have read your other hints and will try them. Thanks for your response. Appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I also failed the gastric emptying business, and have reflux from the bad place. They had me on the Zelnorm but I started having syncope again, this is not cool when you are driving, & I work an hour away from home. They switched me to Reglan but I could not take it because of the side affects. Oh well, I hate the way I feel when I eat, I got some good tips from the emails you all wrote. No one told me to change the way I eat. Thanks again...Connie --- Rose mamadogrose@...> wrote: --------------------------------- Debbie, we used to have a member who called herself Gastro Debbie & I'm pretty sure that she had gastroparesis.
