Re: Not better after gallbladder surgery, being readmitted today.

[Guest guest]

Dear Adam, Sorry to hear you are stillfeeling so ill. (sorry to have

taken so long to reply but I have been down in the big city for a few

days) Yes, my friend's botox is done during an endoscopy. Have you

researched gatroparesis (try www.gpda.net). GP is often accompanied by

abd pain, as well as nausea, vomiting etc. there are a variety of

drugs you can try for it which could make you feel better. These are

prokinetic drugs such as domperidone, zelnormn, cisapride, reglan

(many bad side effects) and even erythomicin. usually they are

accompanied by some kind of acid inhibitor drig. The gastric emptying

scasn you had is the best diagnostic tool for gastroparesis I drink

Lim fast when my tum really can't handle food. It is high in protein

and carbs (probably too high, with hypoglcemia probs) but low in fat

(which in gastroparesis is hard to digest) There are other oral drinks

made especially for gp (I " ll hav e to look them up if you are

interested) hope the docs can sort you out, celia
