    Default Gastroparesis

    Does anyone here have this condition? I'm quite sure I have it based on symptoms and the fact that I had an endoscopy some years back where I didn't eat for 12 hours before the procedure yet the doctor said there was still some food in my stomach.

    I have had it pretty bad the last week and a half. It's making me agoraphobic. I can go out for dinner and then will feel nauseated and bloated for the rest of hte night.

    While I don't actually have the affliction, my IBS-Constipation makes me digest food excruciatingly slowly.

    Will you attempt a gastric emptying test?

    Not "really" diagnosed with it ( I refused endoscopies) but I was prescribed domperidone to help with the condition and with my migraines. I do get bloated and nauseous pretty much every time I eat. There's not much to do about it except eat smaller meals more often and drink teas that help with digestion. When I feel very poorly I take the domperidone. I second the idea of a gastric emptying test, if you can get through it. I couldn't do it (was prescribed the test when I was a kid) because it made me too nauseous, but it sure would help confirm the diagnosis.
