Hi Becki,

Have you tried Reglan for the stomach emptying thing? That is what is

about to go back on for her tummy. She uses it along with Zantac for the

reflux. Please let me know what the one for reflux and emptying is called.

My Update

Hey All,

Well I went to my to my GI doc yesterday..he's one of the few docs I kept at

the hospital I used to be at. He's pretty cool.

I have been having trouble getting backed up since I had that bad obstruction

last year. Also, I get really queasy and whatnot after meals....and my reflux

is driving me nuts.

Well, he said he thinks I have delayed gastric empying which is causing both

the reflux and the pain and nausea and occasional vomiting after I eat. Said

its really common in Diabetics? So I have to have some gosh awful study ( I

have to eat a UNC Egg Sandwich )to see how long it takes for my stomach to

empty

and also an endoscope. I can't even stand the smell of the food so hopefully I

can swollow it...he said it was either eggs or Chicken

Livers...Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He says there is a new med out there that should help....starts with a Z with

both the reflux and the delayed emptying.MAkes things go the correct

direction...lol

But said under no circumstances will they do surgery....even if I have gall

stones. Stupid Lungs. Didn't help matters that I was running a fever of 100.5

there in the

office...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I would like to reinerate on the fact that this disease is a pain in the

tushy and not at all convientant.

I can't go in right now b/c we are leaving on vacation the 3rd and can't do

home IV's b/c there is now a co-pay.....So I guess the Middle of August I can

finally go in.
