I do not have diabetic GP. I also do not have crohns disease - no one know why I have this and also the november GES showed sever GP 12% emptying in 2 hours and the April study showed perfect in fact better than perfect - half empty at 52 minutes - so now they think I don't have it. Do you think it comes and goes?

Hi! Genie

Honestly, I think that at being of battling this disorder it may be hard to digest. Especially if you are not a diabetic. What I do know is that it took over 18 years from the moment I first began to battle with chronic nausea until I was finally diagnosed with Gastroparesis. The first doctor that told me that my stomach could take up to 17 hours to digest one simple meal, also told me that he did not know what was causing my stomach to take so long to deal with my food. It would be another five years before I found a doctor that could put a name to my stomach problems.

Another issue that your doctor may not have considered, some foods go through the digestive process faster than others. Stress will also effect how the stomach reacts to what we eat. There is also the fact that with people that do had GP it takes our stomachs more time to wake up after a night of slumber. So we tend to deal better with our food is the after noon than in the morning. So time of day , with result in different test results.

I hope this helpsâ¦

Hi First Lady L HereI also have non diabetic GP. I did a 4 hr stomach emptying study and had 51% still in my stomach. But since I have several other things wrong with me my Dr couldn't put me on Reglan. She tried Erythromycin and I lost 17lbs in a month. But she didn't give me.any.info on this disorder she just told me what I had and sent me home and act surprised when I couldn't eat anything. Now she has me on Zelnorm and it's not much better. Saw a dietitian who gave me foods to avoid. She told me to eat 5-6 times a day. Yeah tried to.do.that no way I'm doing that again. Threw up for 3 days. I'm use to eating once a day been doing that for over 20 years my stomach is not going to.handle there multiple times daily. Tried 1/2 c of food 3 x a day and was sorry. See a gastrointestinal specialist on the 12th. As if that'll make a difference.

Has anyone tried Motegrity for the Gastroparesis? I was just diagnosed and given this medicine to try. I was curious if it helped anyone and if they had any bad side affects .
