Hi everyone, I wanted to be sure that no one missed the next treatment trial coming up! I’m taking names of interested persons for our gastroparesis/chronic constipation/delayed gastric emptying! Yay! This medication will actually correct much more than that, but because the G.I. symptoms correct within 2-16 hours, it’s the easiest, least expensive test for us to run (science on a shoe-string, right?). To see if you qualify, I’ll need a symptoms checklist from you. All details can be found on the handout attached under the video here: http://prettyill.com/videos/watch/gastroparesis_and_ibs_treatment_trial_sign_up_begins
We’re about half full (I’m aiming for another 20 patients or so), so don’t dawdle! 😉 This is a big one, my friends. Thanks so much!
Yes, thank you. I think I have been having gastroparesis symptoms for while. I have bad episodes of diarrhea followed by long periods of nothing. I find a good cup of coffee gets things moving during the dry periods. All my life I have battled diarrhea and even was using ten or more Imodium a day. Then I started having periods were I was vomiting bile or it was going through as diarrhea. That was when I realized my gall bladder was no longer functioning. I had a cholecystectomy in 2009 and my vomiting improved but not the bile diarrhea. I then started on Welchol, a old cholesterol med, to control the bile diarrhea. I no longer need it at this time because things have slowed down. I don’t know what is due to my EDS and what is due to gall bladder problems. Plumbing issues is something I have dealt with since I was a kid.

ShondaHi Shonda, I’m just curious if you tried Zantac/Zyrtec? When my diarrhea was out of control (and the doctors were stumped), just decreasing histamine (Zantac works best in H2 receptors in the gut), it stopped in 2 days! Then the gastroparesis came back with a vengance! Agh! Have things “slowed down” too much for you? Do you think you have gastroparesis or delayed gastric emptying? If so, you may be a candidate for the study! Lemme know! 😉

Whoops, I am having issues posting. Anyways, I don’t know if I have delayed gastric emptying. I never have much of an appetite anymore. I will send you a private message with more info. It is mostly in my bowels with movement. Some days things move too fast then there can be a week delay. It hard to say what is from the narcotic use. I use to never have trouble using the bathroom. I was always trying to slow things down. Then this year things changed. I periodically use Zrytec and Zantac for allergies/ GERD. I will have to pay more attention to what happens when I take them.
ShondaI can’t get the video to play for me. The other videos work, but this one just won’t.
Hi Hon, Can you try again? Who knows what happened, but I re-entered it, and I *think* all is well! If this should happen again (Heaven-forbid), first let me know (thnk you!) and remember, you can find all videos on my YouTube site, too — I’m at Prettyill1. Thanks so much, and enjoy! 🙂
