Causes and Risk Factors for Gastroparesis
The cause for gastroparesis is not yet known. It is thought that the main nerve that goes to the stomach (vagus nerve) and controls the emptying of the stomach gets affected under this condition. Usually, the muscle contractions of stomach propel the food into the small intestine. These muscle contractions are under the control of the vagus nerve. In any case of damage to the vagus nerve, the signal to stomach muscles gets disrupted, resulting in slow digestion. This causes the food to stay in the stomach for more than the usual time. Many risk factors predispose a person to gastroparesis, like taking certain medicines (like morphine, antidepressants), diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism. Gastroparesis is also noted in certain medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease and scleroderma.
Symptoms of Gastroparesis
The main symptoms that arise in gastroparesis include a sensation of fullness in the stomach from eating even the slightest amount of food, abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting of undigested food, low appetite, abdominal discomfort/ pain, and acid reflux/heartburn. Weight loss may attend the above features.
I had a 3.5 hiatal hernia surgery. For a couple weeks I felt bad ni needed it because the hernia was pushing all organs into chest. I DID not have acid reflux. NOW I do and now I have gastroparesis. I can’t keep food down, ear aches from acid reflux and vomiting. As I read online it seems like a death sentence. I am 77 and beside myself. What do I do. I have been taking ginger root in the day and it’s not really effective.
Dear Dr. Sharma: I am interested in the connection between ME/CFS and gastroparesis, where the muscular fatigue of the gastric system mimics and happens with other symptoms, especially in connection with muscular fatigue in the body in general. There is a point that the body is so fatigued that the patient has a powerful urgency to sleep. I am interested in your thoughts about this and wonder if there is a remedy when a small amount of food causes impulsive sleep. Thank you.
Dear Dr. Sharma.

My daughter has had three years of a sick stomach and was diagnosed with GERD and started omeprazole 40mg daily, got better and then much worse and received a cholecystectomy in Nov. 2020 after a HiDA scan Showed an ejection fraction rate of 22%. She again got better for a while and then the pain, nausea, and acid/bubbly feeling started again. She completed a gastric emptying study and retained 33% of the food after 4 hrs and was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis. I want to heal my daughter and give her a future if not taking prescription medication everyday. She is 12 y/o, 5’2” and 100lbs. She eats a low fat, low acid diet, although not always healthy choices she eats decent.

I have been diagnosed with Gastroparesis and Parkinson’s disease (without the appropriate tests taken), though the symptoms seem to fit. (Plumbum Metallicum seemed quite to fit the symptoms of Parkinson’s but has produced vague results for trembling, cramps, and numb legs. Lycopodium has helped with the Gastroparesis, but nothing has aided the Constipation (called due to IBS) by a Gastroenterologist but NOTHING I can find gives much results for the CONSTIPATION, WHICH IS PROBLEMATIC CONSTANTLY AND HAS RESULTED IN DANGEROUS WEIGHT LOSS. hAVE tried Alumina, Nux, Plumbum, and anti-constipation drops from Professional formulas furiously, Can you please recommend another route. Thank you.
