Worried       04/09/04 11:54 AM Edit Reply Quote FutureDoc Reged: 04/02/04 Posts: 58 Well I went to the GI yesterday to get the results of my colonosopy and small bowel series and everything came out normal (which is great!) BUT my doctor said my stomach is not emptying fast enough. Now he wants to do an EGD, or upper endoscopy, and a gastric emptying test! He mentioned that I could have some obstruction in my stomach or I could have gastroparesis. Scary! I just wanted to know if anyone has any of these tests done and what their experiences were. It makes me nervous to have something down my throat. I also wanted to know if anyone has been on tricyclic antidepressants, like Elavil, for their IBS and if this caused their stomach to empty slower. I read somewhere that they can cause this but wanted to hear other ppl's opinion. I stopped the Elavil cuz it wasn't helping and also cuz I wanted to see if my stomach empties fine without it. Anyways, any advice would be greatly apprecaited! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
