Gastroparesis means paralysis of the stomach. It's a functional disorder affecting your stomach nerves and muscles. It makes your stomach muscle contractions weaker and slower than they need to be to digest your food and pass it on to your intestines. This leads to food sitting too long in your stomach.

Loss of appetite
Unintended weight loss
Some factors that can damage the vagus nerve and its branches and increase the risk of gastroparesis include

Surgery to the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine
Viral or bacterial infections,
Connective tissue diseases like scleroderma or lupus
Eating disorders including anorexia nervosa bulimia
Nervous system diseases such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis

I had a terrible time with this...I could still taste food 10 or so hours after eating, was having mental confusion etc it was the most awful thing. Good luck getting anyone to listen :( I ended up doing an herbal kind of thing, but not until I had gone through my life savings, 2 years of not being able to work and honestly just wanted to end it all. Definitely is a wakeup call as far as trust and medical practitioners. I think mine started with intestinal covid, or a root canal.

Thanks for sharing! So much damage in our gut starts in our mouth. Think about it, we kill our oral micrbiome with mouth washes, ie listerine, antibiotics, chemicals used to fill cavaties. The oral micrbiome is the next frontier.

I went in for a routine colonoscopy ended up with a blood infection and then left the hospital with gastroparesis was diagnosed with the nuclear stomach emptying test I have severe gastroparesis and I'm allergic to the medications to treat it currently get IV medication gravel and electrolytes but in the meantime my doctors have left me for 3 years I'm down to 83 lb with several other issues due to malnourishment and chronic dehydration. I am fearful I will die from this I'm 46 years old and this is totally destroyed my life I have contemplated on going to the states as I live in Canada I'm currently on a waiting list with hopes that they can do something for me before it's too late. I appreciate this video so much nobody seems to understand this condition 😢

My daughter was diagnosed with gastroparesis (92% full after 4.5 hours while on the liquid stage of her GES) at 2 years old. She ended up with a GJ tube. She also has severe food allergies (Eggs, diary, soy, peanuts, and wheat)and severe hypoglycemia (she drops to the 30s if off feeds for longer than an hour so she's on CGM and 22 hour a day feeds) she has eospinaphilic esophagitis and had H.Pylori (we treated when she had her last (2nd time this year) GI bleed in March). She's now almost. 4. She goes for her repeat GES on Monday. We are hoping that there's been improvement so she can start feeding therapy (she had a laryngeal cleft repaired last year and is still on honey-thick liquids) at the hospital's day program at the same time she would be starting preschool. ***Fingers crossed!!!***

I wish my doctor had known about Mestinon (Pyridostigmine) as an inexpensive treatment option for gastroparesis. This medication has changed my life, and doesn't have the side effects that the usual gastroparesis medications have.

@ritaakers4499 2 ай бұрын

Thank you Dr Hagmeyer for this information. I have Gastroparesis and am only able to have a bowel movement when I take a laxative. And I’ve been doing that for months and months! The first medication I was put on was Linzess. It was the middle strength, 145 mcg. It made my stomach feel better, but it did not “move” me. They were going to up it to the strongest dose, but it was too expensive could not keep that up month after month. So they have now put me on Lubiprostone (generic Amitiza). It’s not moving me either and the side effects are not pleasant! I know my problem is caused because of the 2 hiatal hernia surgeries I’ve had in the past and then in Oct 2022 had abdominal hernia surgery. They put mesh in about size of typing paper. Those plus stress. But I am researching trying to find information that will help me. So your video has encouraged me. Also the comment from Dulcimerist. After reading about side effects with that drug that helped him, a bit hesitant, would like something more natural, less awful side effects. But one gets to a point where they will do almost anything!

I’m on an NJ feeding tube. I can barely swallow water. I’m in severe pain and have horrible nausea. I passed my gastric emptying test, but I’ve read studies that say gastric emptying can change by the day. I still don’t have a diagnosis and the hospital refuses to let me get a GJ tube until they get one. Yet they don’t know what is wrong with me. They say my case is complicated since I was born prematurely and have Septo Optic Dysplasia. Therefore I have underdeveloped optic nerves, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and corpus callosum. I was also adopted from a poor country and when I came to the US my adoptive parents said I had parasites in my digestive system. I don’t know if that did lasting damage or affects anything. Do you have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SAME HERE.. except for now I think I’m gonna start losing weight because I’ve gotten to the point where I just don’t want to eat. I’ve been drinking meal supplements and having a lot of soup. There are a few things you can do. Mainly your diet is a big thing. Eliminate caffeine take vitamin B one as it helps with the acid in your stomach, which believe it or not you need. Even if you suffer from heartburn, I also try to stay away from all process foods make homemade snacks, etc. eat six small meals a day if you can and try not to eat at least three hours before you go to bed. And every time you do eat, try to get a little bit of exercise in❤ hope this helps. I’ve been suffering for two years.

@@annarosse2561 Tick pathogens can cause all kinds of symptoms. Two weeks on antibiotics doesn’t work. You need supplements to build up your body to help fight the tick pathogens since they’re hiding in connective tissues and cysts. Go to the ILADS website and find a properly trained medical physician or naturopathic doctor in your area. Most doctors that aren’t trained in treating tick borne illnesses. Most doctors will tell you once you’re treatment with antibiotics for two weeks then your fine but it’s NOT true. You need antibiotics and supplements.

There’s a few things worth exploring. The relationship between sex hormones and motility, and the relationship between Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and your sex hormones. Check out some of the other videos on my channel that elaborate on both these topics. There’s no one cause and each “cause” needs to be addressed.

My wife was just diagnosed with this in the last weeks and not sure what has brought it on . The only thing that we can thing of is she had her Gal Bladder removed 10 yrs ago, but would it take that long for this problem to pop up after that type of surgery. I have also read in my limited research prescription and and over the counter sleeping pills could cause this. My wife has been taking sleeping pills for decades for her problems sleeping, she has also be prescribed antidepressants on and off over the years . She was told this is no cure and no surgery but one to do for this condition and it doesn't work and that is having a pump put in for her stomach but it doesn't work very well and most people end up having it removed because it doesn't work. She has lost close to 30 lbs in the past month and half because she basically living off slim fast drinks and mashed potatoes. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

My daughter developed gastroparesis as a result of Juvenile Diabetes. Long story short … I wish I would’ve known about the vagus nerve being involved. This doctor is extremely knowledgeable, unlike my daughter’ that ended up divorcing her! She received the enterra gastric pacer as the 2nd recipient at Baylor University Medical center back around 2003. It saved her life initially, as she was like you, malnourished and underweight. The gastric pacer worked about 60% of the time, until it needed new batteries 7 years in. After that, her gastric pacer stopped working and she lived in agony the rest of her life. She was 23 years old when she got the pacer and passed away at 41 years of age. It bought her time and she remarried when she was 25 years old to the love of her life and they had a beautiful baby girl that’s graduating in a couple of weeks. It’s not perfect, but it’s about the only option for people with severe gastroparesis. I hope that this is helpful to you and I pray for all that are suffering with gastroparesis.❤
