GASTROPARESIS- Causes, Signs and Symptoms- Thing's You Wish Your Doctors Would Have Told You. 

I had a terrible time with this...I could still taste food 10 or so hours after eating, was having mental confusion etc it was the most awful thing. Good luck getting anyone to listen :( I ended up doing an herbal kind of thing, but not until I had gone through my life savings, 2 years of not being able to work and honestly just wanted to end it all. Definitely is a wakeup call as far as trust and medical practitioners. I think mine started with intestinal covid, or a root canal.

Thanks so much for this. My wife suffers from this condition and she has said, that "this is no way to live" (I'm paraphrasing, she said something more disturbing). It's been recommended, by her Dr. that she get a pacemaker for her stomach. Surely this isn't the only option... Thanks, again, for this video. Cheers

I went in for a routine colonoscopy ended up with a blood infection and then left the hospital with gastroparesis was diagnosed with the nuclear stomach emptying test I have severe gastroparesis and I'm allergic to the medications to treat it currently get IV medication gravel and electrolytes but in the meantime my doctors have left me for 3 years I'm down to 83 lb with several other issues due to malnourishment and chronic dehydration. I am fearful I will die from this I'm 46 years old and this is totally destroyed my life I have contemplated on going to the states as I live in Canada I'm currently on a waiting list with hopes that they can do something for me before it's too late. I appreciate this video so much nobody seems to understand this condition 😢

Just found this guy's channel. Fantastic stuff here. Great video with in depth info! Subscribed.

❤ Excellent video .. very informative.. Thank you..

How do we test to see if our vagus nerve is working?

Thank you for this video. So informative!. ❤ I have seen several doctors in Finland and gotten no help. Do you take international patients remotely/telemedicine?

I heard from other doctors like Dr Berg that B1 deficiency can cause such as well.

My daughter was diagnosed with gastroparesis (92% full after 4.5 hours while on the liquid stage of her GES) at 2 years old. She ended up with a GJ tube. She also has severe food allergies (Eggs, diary, soy, peanuts, and wheat)and severe hypoglycemia (she drops to the 30s if off feeds for longer than an hour so she's on CGM and 22 hour a day feeds) she has eospinaphilic esophagitis and had H.Pylori (we treated when she had her last (2nd time this year) GI bleed in March). She's now almost. 4. She goes for her repeat GES on Monday. We are hoping that there's been improvement so she can start feeding therapy (she had a laryngeal cleft repaired last year and is still on honey-thick liquids) at the hospital's day program at the same time she would be starting preschool. ***Fingers crossed!!!***

SIBO is not yeast. It’s in the name: small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Yeast and bacteria are from different domains. Yeast is a eukaryote, bacteria are prokaryotes.

Unfortunately I have several issues. I had MALS, which affected my stomach and pancreas. My celiac artery is now a zigzag and there is an aneurysm below it. Then I had an incisional hernia repair with mesh. Fast forward another year, my stomach and small intestine feel very slow and there’s lots of noise and painful bloating. Waiting for ctscan results. Thank you for the video.

Im getting tested soon hoping to have my awnser

I am getting low blood pressure chest pain breathing issues laying down. I was diagnosed being pre-diabetic. Does all this stuff related to Gastroparesis?

Would you please discuss Pyloric Stenosis?

I’m on an NJ feeding tube. I can barely swallow water. I’m in severe pain and have horrible nausea. I passed my gastric emptying test, but I’ve read studies that say gastric emptying can change by the day. I still don’t have a diagnosis and the hospital refuses to let me get a GJ tube until they get one. Yet they don’t know what is wrong with me. They say my case is complicated since I was born prematurely and have Septo Optic Dysplasia. Therefore I have underdeveloped optic nerves, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and corpus callosum. I was also adopted from a poor country and when I came to the US my adoptive parents said I had parasites in my digestive system. I don’t know if that did lasting damage or affects anything. Do you have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wish my doctor had known about Mestinon (Pyridostigmine) as an inexpensive treatment option for gastroparesis. This medication has changed my life, and doesn't have the side effects that the usual gastroparesis medications have.

I very much liked your video. I have gastroparesis as well as a hiatal hernia. You gave me some pointers about how to go about this my doctor has me on pantoprazole. I have noticed that I have gained weighed not lost weight with this condition though. I do not have diabetes so I am trying to figure out how to control my stomach bloating.

I have Gastroperisis!

They think MS has caused my gastroparesis. It never occurred to me that MS could cause that but it makes sense as down to nerves.

Can I become a patient?

Any keystone concepts connecting chronic migraine with gastroparesis? My spouse has had migraines all her life, then found her "Sliver Bullet" - a monoclonal antibody cgrp-inhibitor (Emgality) which is injectable once per month and at least on paper shouldn't be causing any side effects. Fast forward 6 months and she has gastroparesis. She's non-diabetic, great blood pressure, no blood sugar issues, no constipation. Could also be the gastroparesis is from a stomach bug we got a month before symptoms appeared, but I do wonder if there is a connection through the Vagus nerve. Any thoughts?

Excelent information. Thank you. For last 3 years i have no diagnosis for my kind of nausea with belching and kind of lack of coordinantion and stability. My walking is affected. Usualy it comes together, stays for several hours. More often it happens when i am hungry. After food it is better for a while. Can it be gastroparesis? I had many tests done: colonoskopy, endoskopy, mri of brain, many neurological tests and nothing specific. A smal neuropathy ... some changes in the brain which are normal for my age .. is it possible that it is gastoparesis?

I have hashimoto's disease and it really started acting up and then right after that I got diagnosed with GP. Can you please tell me what I can do about this could the hashimoto's disease be causing it? I am diabetic but I have always controlled my diabetes myself they think it's from diabetes I don't I think it's due to the hashimoto's can hashimotos give you gastrophoresis? I also had COVID in right after COVID I started getting these symptoms to where I couldn't eat much hardly anymore.

My wife was just diagnosed with this in the last weeks and not sure what has brought it on . The only thing that we can thing of is she had her Gal Bladder removed 10 yrs ago, but would it take that long for this problem to pop up after that type of surgery. I have also read in my limited research prescription and and over the counter sleeping pills could cause this. My wife has been taking sleeping pills for decades for her problems sleeping, she has also be prescribed antidepressants on and off over the years . She was told this is no cure and no surgery but one to do for this condition and it doesn't work and that is having a pump put in for her stomach but it doesn't work very well and most people end up having it removed because it doesn't work. She has lost close to 30 lbs in the past month and half because she basically living off slim fast drinks and mashed potatoes. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

what about slow peristalsis in the lower GI.. I do EVERYTING I should do for normal functioning like what I eat, fiber, pro and prebiotics, supplements... nothing ! my stomach empties out well just seems to pause after it gets past the small bowel. I am fixin to try some CBO protocol from a doc I watch on RU-vid. I am beside myself. I'm 2 years post menopause and feel that's what it has to do with. I did a Food sens test and I have cut that out. still nothing. I drink alot of water too.. I'm telling u I am one hell of a challenge. I have low stress too... easy job, easy money! oh I have hashimotos but it's controlled.

My pituitary gland was removed when I was 9 because of a golf ball size brain tumor. All my hormones are replaced with medication. And although I have GERD, IBS, and Gastroparesis I weigh over 300 lbs. My friends don't understand why I weigh so much because I simply don't eat enough to be normal. Then I throw up what I do eat with diarrhea. I think I have had gastroparesis my whole life. I usually go to ER about every 2 weeks for IV fluids because of chronic vomiting/diarrhea that won't stop. I barely can differentiate the difference between hunger and nausea most of the time. Do you have any advice? Also, can a pinched nerve cause damage to the vagal nerve?

What can be done when someone has had their vagus nerve surgically severed? The doctors purposely did that to him. They said there was “too much acid being produced”. Personally, I would sue those doctors for cutting the vagus nerve! Can the nerve be reattached? Is there anything else that can be done?

Does antidepressants cause gastroparesis?

How many small meals should you have ?

Hi Dr. Hagmeyer! Sorry, not helpful. Over 50s here, been suffering with POTS (hyperadrenic & hypermobility (both likely genetic, not EDS)) since childhood (as in constipation since two-weeks old and not knowing that not going for several days and weeks was not normal). I always had trouble digesting, with bowel movements, with sleeping, with anger management and allergies and asthma (the latter having turned into MCAS on certain triggers in my 50s). After four decades of high performance in working life - albeit on betablockers in my 30s and calcium blockers as a try (unsuccessful) in my 40s, it all stopped working for me in my early 40s. I've been practically an invalid for a decade now. At some point I started vomiting and eating became even more impossible than before. Working full-time had become impossible a couple years earlier than I started vomiting regularly. I know I had SIBO, having gone through excessive anti-acid medication for 1.5 years in my late 20s after a stomach ulcer caused by inflammatory medication needed for severe, disability causing repetitive strain injury in hands because of typing. Similar strain injuries in other muscles present, such as in lower legs and feet later without any actual strain. SIBO was evident because of massive 'explosions' of gas in the gut at 5 am that I always used to wake up for up to a decade. I took natural remedies for this for years and these symptoms have gone away (wild oregano oil, garlic & berberin capsules at least 15 courses weeks/months apart). Yet, eating is still a problem. The strain injuries remain as well as inflammation related joint pains caused by the silliest extortion. And sleeping problems and other dysautonomic symptoms like incontinence and intermittent nerve pains likely to be caused by the hypermobile spine (diagnosed over 30 years ago manifesting in consistent feeling of mosquito like 'bites' all over for hours, like minutes of incredible nerve pain in one spot or days of numbness in one spot). Now the problem is eating carbohydrates or even below normal European volumes of food (1.5 dl is what I can take basically at max). I cant walk or stand up after eating for hours. I can't eat carbs if I want to do anything even mental and walking or other regular physical activity always requires an empty stomach in order not to vomit anything of substance. I will still heave without bringing anything up though. Carbs put me to sleep, as in if I eat 2-3 slices of low carb bread, I'm done for hours. I can manage 1 slice of rye bread if I don't move or drink anything that adds weight to the stomach for 30-60 min. Otherwise my heart rate elevates to levels where it causes inefficiency and lactic acid in muscles, I get exhausted and my body just puts me into sleep. (It comes handy when I suffer (from medically diagnosed) insomnia though... -- Eat a little and fall into a carb coma.) Now, I know you have little to give me regarding medical advice. I've got a Ph.D. and I can read the medical journals. There is just not enough knowledge. All I wanted to do was to contribute towards your knowledge about the spectrum of gastroparesis sufferers. I used to think it was just lactose intolerance in the 1990s and 2000s, but it was not. In the past two years I could not go for 6 weeks -- twice. The first caused by calcium channel blockers ( I also stopped sleeping for 3 weeks) and then the next year caused by the heat.

I am diabetic, have gastroparesis, bowel movement every 5 days, age 71, and found that amphetamines fixed it all. ??

low stomach acid is the main cause for gastroparesis. Try betaine Hcl in combination with pancreatic enzymes Don't forget bile salts. you will be fine. Add vitamin B1.

Question please. So what actually causes the full feeling. I feel full without even eating anything. Thanks

I have gastroparesis and have a Enterra stimulator

No. It is atill up and down.

How to cure diabetes in 3 days, interesting book written by doctors from India, high nitric oxide breakfast is part of what i read.
