Re:Delayed Gastric Emptying       04/13/05 12:52 PM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois They test for delayed gastric emptying by making you eat a meal first. Standard meal is toast, 2 containers of milk (for me they replaced with O.J.) and scrambled eggs injected with a dye. Then, I laid on a table for like 3 or 4 hours while they took x-rays every 20 minutes or so. This is how they can "see" and time how quickly the food empties out. There is a normal time and anything slower than this can be a problem and diagnosed as delayed emptying. Symptoms are bloat, constipation, feeling full quickly after eating small amounts. They can try to treat it with drugs, like Reglan, but the drugs are controversial as to how safe they are and side effects are horrible! So, they recommend low fiber, and eating 6 tiny meals a day. I don't know how they expect the low fiber to help with the constipation though! I need to talk to my doctor again about this. Well, once I find a doctor. Tell me, when they inserted the balloon inside you, was it to help the emptying? Do you think that might help me? I haven't found any info on correcting this situation by a procedure, only by methods I listed above. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!
