Hi Francelle:
I started an earlier thread on gastroparesis and colonic inertia. You could look for it. I was on Reglan in 1993 and my personal experience (which may not hold true for you) is that it didn't help me and I got suicidally depressed on it so stopped it. Erythromycin put me in the hospital with chemical hepatitis which I later learned was because I have a mitochondrial dysfunction. I tried Domperidone but it didn't help me much. But some folks do well on any of these, just be forewarned if you start taking any of these drugs to watch for their side effects & monitor them. Cissipride saved my life in 1993, then caused cardiac problems in 1996 and was later taken off the market. I have gastroparesis and have to manage it without drugs. I am on anywhere from 1/3 to 100% liquid nutriton. I use high protein Boost. You want high protein if your calorie intake is low. Also try following a gastroparesis diet: low fat, low fiber, high protein (unless for any reason you are restricted on the protein intake because of other problems such as kidney problems). Good luck! It's no fun!!! I've been strugling with it for 18 years. Also check out the website: GPDA.org which deals with gi motility problems.
