I'm a new member and this is my first post. I've been on Hydrocodone since 2012. I have been suffering from nausea for years. In the last year it has gotten unbearable. Nausea medicines don't work at all. The nausea is intermixed with much pain in the stomach and gut. Last week I had a gastric emptying test and they said my test showed slowed gastric emptying. I started researching and I feel that the hydrocodone could be part, or all of the reason. Is this quite common for us with ME/CFS because of our dependency to pain meds. When I went on pain meds it changed my life, but now I think the opioids have made me even more pain sensitive along with the damage to my GI tract.
My gastric problems are getting worse by the day. I walk the floors till it's time for me to take my next pain pill. All my other pains pale in comparison to the GI pain and nausea going on right now. I made an appointment with a pain clinic so I can get off the opioids, but I don't have an appointment for another 11 days. Has anyone tried the Gastroparesis diet?

It is a 3 stage diet. Stage 1 I started today out of desperation - liquids only. I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist next Tuesday. I also had severe pancreatitis in 2014 & I don't know the extent of the damage. I can't take digestive enzymes. Thanks for any help you can give me...........
