I did, it's quite the same as Metacloprarid. So it helps moving the food faster out of your stomach.
But it didn't help me with my Gastritis.

I am currently taking Domperidone. It helps me to move food faster, and I have a much better appetite now. I've taken it once before, a few years ago, and it didn't give me any lasting side effects.

As herrlehmann said, Domperidone alone will not cure gastritis, but it will help in combination with dietary changes. I am also taking a PPI (Lansoprazole). These medications, along with a strict diet, really help me with gastritis.

Do you in the USA, because my dr tells me they are ordereding this med from Canada or Europe. Did the medication start working right away, or did it take a while. It's not FDA approved in US.
I have a wonderful appetite, but the food is slow in moving out of my stomach.

Were you able to eat more food, I start eating and I fill up coz of the slow emptying. I hope I have success with Domperidone, I'm always hungry. Did you have the gastric emptying test done. After 4 hrs my stomach only emptied at 17%, a good functional stomach empties in 2 hrs. I'm praying it moves the food out.

Rosebrook, I am in Canada, so I do have access to this medication. I had a gastric emptying study, and they found that my stomach is slow. The gastroenterologist said that my stomach was damaged by a past infection. I was feeling full after eating just a tiny amount of food, and the food was sitting like a rock in my stomach for hours. I was also constipated. Domperidone helped with both problems. It speeds up both the stomach and bowel.

The doctor prescribed me 4 pills a day, 30 min before meals and at bedtime. The medication started working right away, I got such relief as the stomach got working again. I felt much better within a few days. As my stomach got stronger, I was able to eat larger meals. I took Domperidone for about 4 months, and I started gaining some weight. As I got better, I slowly went down to 1 pill a day, and then stopped altogether.

Now, there were side effects, like drowsiness, but they were minor. Oh yes, and my periods stopped while I was on it.

However, I didn't really understand how to treat gastritis, or what diet I should follow. As I got back to my previous foods, the gastritis came back. Now I'm on Domperidone again, but this time I'm sticking to the proper diet.

Thank you for giving me some hope, I want to eat ,but the food doesn't want to move. It took 4 months and nmero use drs to figure out what's wrong with me. I'm praying that I don't have any side effects from this drug since the USA will not pass it.
I start goodin the morning, then as the stomach fills so does the pain, so I'm really hoping the Domperidone helps me. The price was not that bad, for me 3 month supply 65.00 USA dollar. They told me 7 to 21 days for shipping. Do you still take PPI for the gastritis, I will still stick with my diet, but maybe add some fruits and vegetable since they are the hardest to break down.

I still take PPI (Lansoprazole). With Domperidone, you will be able to eat larger portions. However, be very careful when adding new foods. Add slowly, and if you notice any reaction, go back to the bland diet.

As far as fruits and vegetables, the easiest to digest are banana, applesause, carrots (cooked), zucchini and cauliflower.

The doctor told me that if you eliminate rough foods, the stomach will lose the ability to digest it. It must be trained again, very slowly, to accept this food. Be patient, don't rush with this, and the stomach will get stronger.

Azalea, I've been taking Tramadol everyday for the pain of gastritis, it's really helped. But I was reading that tramodol shows down the stomach emptying, even though it's not a opiante, it acts like one. Any thoughts on that. I just starting taking Domperidone yesterday, I hope it helps me espesically at supper, that's when I'm the fullest. My dr just ordered for me to take 15 mins prior to meals., but not at bedtime.
I'm going to stop tramodol to see if it makes any difference with pain and emptying.if the pain is too bad, I'll have to take tramodol.

Rosebrook, yes I noticed that anti-anxiety and pain relief medications really slow down my stomach. For this reason I stopped taking them. Logically, it does make sense - anything that makes you sleepy and relaxed has the same affect on the stomach.

I called my GI specialist, and she said it was ok to take tramodol it has no effect on slowing the stomach down. She said it was the opiante like Vicidin, and I only take Xanax .25 at bedtime. The tramodol really works great on the pain of the gastritis and it has little or no side effects. The tramodol works well on reliving the stomach cramping from the gas. She said I would start feeling the difference with Domperdeine in about a week. I pretty good with all my meals except supper,I just seems to eat too much them, then I pay for it.
Are ypu gluten free?, I'm just gluten sensitive, I had the test it and I don't have cecelic. I use to love my grilled cheese sandwich. What are some of your favorites.

Domperidone helps me a lot. After a gastritis flareup, I am usually feeling weak and sluggish, and I lose my appetite. Domperidone clears that right up, and I feel relief soon after I take the pill. As the stomach starts working, I feel well and hungry again. Ive been taking it for 5 months, I am slowly reducing the dosage. Now I am down to 1 pill a day.

I have the same problem with overeating during supper. I really have to watch what I eat in the evening, because most of my flareups happen at night. Right now I am eating oatmeal first thing in the morning, and at bedtime. This seems to soothe my stomach. I make it really runny, and cook it for 20 min, otherwise it is too heavy for me.

I tried a gluten free, FODMAPS diet for a while, but I found it too restrictive. I was losing weight way too fast. I since introduced gluten back into my diet, and I can tolerate it well. However, I am intolerant to dairy, and even a tiny amount gives me terrible upset stomach. My blood test did not show any gluten or lactose intolerance.

Here is what I am eating right now. Hope this helps. I am trying to introduce more variety, but these are the foods that are safe for me.

Rice, rice noodles, buckwheat, oatmeal, potatoes, bread, saltines
Chicken, fish, soy butter
Carrots, zucchini, cauliflower
Banana, applesause

Your diet resembles mine, but I eat eggs quite a lot, since it's a good source of protein.
I know what you mean about gluten free, the only item I like is there pancake mix, by King Arthur, they are so delicious, I could eat 6 if I could fit in my stomach, I would love to try regular bread, I miss it so much.i had the gluten test too and I'm not Celtic.
Do you eat any pasta?or any soups?how about sandwiches? I really miss them.
My Nathropath gave me a digestive enzyme to take with my meals and she said not to drink liquids before or after meals, it inter fears with digestion.
Thanks for your info. Since you have the same as me gastritis and gastroparesis, I had a hysterectomy 3 yrs ago, and had para aortic lymph nodes removed and my dr feels the nerve may have been injured at that time, had uterine cancer, had chemo and internal radiation. But after all my treatments I had no problems with my GI, and I always watched what I ate, that's why I'm so upset I got this terrible disease. It's really changed my life. I use to travel a lot and now I don't go anywhere, has your life changed or did you get back into your normal life?
Do you take a PPI too.

I havent had eggs for a while. I will try them, thanks for the suggestion. I do eat pasta, but not soup. I read somewhere that soup, especially heavy fat broth, is not good for gastritis. I have poor digestion, and if I drink too much liquids it doesnt digest properly. So I eat small meals and I avoid drinking anything within 30 min after eating. I dont eat sandwiches, because I cant tolerate any of the traditional fillings. Lunch meat is the absolute worst food for me, it gives me terrible, terrible illness. I dont think I will ever be able to tolerate it. I only eat bagels with tiny amounts of soy butter.

Be very careful with digestive enzymes. I tried them on several occasions, and they give me nausea and burning stomach ache. What really helps me is a bland diet, PPI, and Domperidone. As far as the cause of my gastritis, I think it is the combination of too much coffee, herbs and OTC medications.

Ive had gastritis on and off for 10 years. I didnt know what was wrong with me, and it made me very anxious. I did not travel, because I never knew when my illness would strike. Now that I know what diet to follow, it gives me some sense of control. I can see myself traveling in the future. Of course, I will need to arrange for a bland diet at all times, and not eat any problem foods. I am still far from healed, and anything can set it off again. But as long as I follow my diet, I feel great and my stomach doesnt bother me.

Azalea, I sent you a private message to see how you are doing with the Domperidome, since I'm taking it to.
