Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 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.
