Don't know how they would do one. But once my Endo gave me Metoclopram 5mg 4x and it cleared my problem, it more or less confirm his diagnoses.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hi, I hope you don't mind my chiming in. I was under the impression that diabetic neuropathy could affect any organ in the body including bladder and all digestive organs. My stomach doesn't empty like it should either, and I've had IBS for many years (long before the diabetes), but it has gotten worse since the diabetes. Didn't know there was a medication for the stomach problem. I will ask my Dr about Metoclopram.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hi Drew and Carol, Just a quick note, I also have IBS. They say mine was because I have fibromyalgia also, but I have noticed a big change since I have been diabetic( about a year and a half.) It has gotten worse. My gastro doctor put me on Lexapro (I know it is a mild nerve pill) for the IBS, Her explanation was that since Lexapro is a nerve pill, it also works for IBS as it relaxes the nerve endings in the stomach. I can tell you that if I get out of my Lexapro or miss a couple of doses, I am hurting and running for the bathroom. I go back on my medicine and no problems. It has made a believer out of me. And while taking it I can eat almost anything I want (spicy, hot, etc.) with no problems. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Thanks for the advice about the metoclopram and lexapro. I'll do the research and then make an appointment to see my GP. If I show her the info then she usually gives me what I ask for. Welcome new people!! Hi Drew and Carol, Just a quick note, I also have IBS.
