They gave me scrambled eggs with dye in them for my gastric emptying test - thankfully I put plenty of black pepper on them, which covered up the nasty flavor of the dye. The other two people getting the test done that day didn't use black pepper, and said their eggs tasted nasty. I ended up being prescribed Mestinon to treat my digestive motility issues, and it's eliminated my cramping and bloating and greatly reduced the pain I used to feel after eating. It's an older and less expensive medication, but it's a new treatment option for gastroparesis, digestive dysmotility, IBS-C, and chronic constipation. It stimulates the vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system, which are in charge of digestion. It also increases a neurotransmitter which improves muscle tone, so it also helps the stomach and intestinal muscles to push food through the digestive system.

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that seeing your journey with gp has really helped me! I just got diagnosed with gp back in November and I found your channel when I first started experiencing symptoms. You've been so inspiring🙂

I'm getting mine on Monday but it's clear liquid and I will be doing a CT scan to. I totally understand what you going through I do it ever 3 months because when I was an inpatient at the hospital and they did liquid kind and they did that test for 3 day's and all I know it takes about 4 day's too get all clear liquid out of my stomach. When I first did solid food it took a month too get all the food done. But you're not alone in all this disease.

They gave you so much food. My person gave me 1 egg and said I didn't need to eat the 1 piece of toast and said I couldn't even drink water. I'm not sure mine was done right. My test took 4 hours as well. I'm still pending results.

I’ve been off for awhile and thought you had surgery that helped your GP? Did it stop working? I think you called it a POEM procedure .

Yes I did have the surgery about a year ago and over the past couple months I started experiencing symptoms again and after a couple different tests it showed that my stomach still really isn’t working. My pylorus is still nice and open from the surgery but it seems that my stomach muscles are the issue and my stomach is so enlarged and unable to empty food properly which is why I have been feeling so sick.

Be careful sweet you look like you have lost even more weight with the busy life I’m the same always doing something and when I get 5 mins to rest I’m not thinking about food I normally realise when the kids are in bed that oh dear I haven’t eaten or drunk anything and that’s bad exp the drinking as I already have kidney stone issues and I can’t just drink water fast as I have Fowler’s syndrome and I can’t cope with the pain of drinking in big amounts ....did you get your bowel Results back yet and these results for your GI my large intestine definitely needs removing it’s not working I took like 50 circle tablets and 3 days later X-ray and my large intestine they was still at and they would expect them not there at all in 3 days I kinda haven’t took the information in hearing it via call I’m dreading the op I will be feeling sorry for myself big time 😆💕🇬🇧🇬🇧💕

Thank you for being concerned! My doctor and I are working on figuring out a solid treatment plan. I’m working on eating and drinking as much as my body will physically let me so I can be okay. And yes I did, my doctor said I had some minor spasms but nothing too crazy thank goodness! I wish you all the best with your health too and it’s totally okay to feel sorry for yourself every now and then, this health stuff is so tough!
