Re: Achalasia and Gastroparesis

I had a HM almost a year ago, have had several medical tests done since, was

finally diagnosed with nerve damage to stomach. I am having additional testing

completed in May 2011. I had the gastric emptying test done in January,

diagnosis was a stomach that emptied too quickly. I am not nausaus, but have

very bad pain every time I eat, can consume very little. Good luck to you!! Hope

you have excellent doctors available to you!!

noticed that sometimes as a result of a myotomy damage is done to the vagus

nerve.Sometimes it make take a year or more before the symptoms of gastroparesis

show up.I'm hoping that it is something else but notice that Zofran doesn't seem

to have much of an effect on the nausea anymore.If anyone has any info on the

relationship between achalasia and gastroparesis fill free to enlighten me.

His gi doc did a endoscopy in march, found gatorade in his stomach after being

npo for 9 hours. That was the last thing he drank the night before, and I know

he didn't " cheat " . He also has a low folate level...angela

I get sharp pains at the bottom of my rib cage on both sides.Other members

thought that these were possibly spasms, but I wonder if they have something to

do with this gastric emptying problem.I am hoping that this is not the problem.I

don't want anything to do with a feeding tube.

I don't believe there is an officially accepted connection but they both

result from nerve damage.
