    • Close GERD & Heartburn

      I have just finally been diagnosed with gastroparesis. After years of terrible acid reflux, barrets esophogus, bacterial infection of the stomach and the feeling of fullness all the time without eating they did the test where I ate the radioactive egg and they timed how long it took to leave my stomach. After 2 hours my stomach was still 100% full. I tried reglan, but had tremors, I am now on domperidone, which is working well. Has anyone gained weight instead of lost?
