Gastroparesis, Tips to ease symptoms?

Thankfully, though I'm still constantly burping and hearing that bubbling in my throat, my stomach hasn't felt completely stuffed this last 2 days. Having soups seems to be helping instead of solid food for some of my meals.
 
I have 2 meals of soup per day and one protein meal with Creon this seems to help, I take pantoprazole each morning.
I have never suffered from heart burn but have had acid and bile reflux for years, so much so I have no enamel on my teeth.
We are all different but things like Gaviscon or as someone suggested bicarbonate of soda can if used over a long period more than 6 weeks can cause gall stones, so you replace one problem with another.
I have had digestive problems for the last 35 years cumulating in pancreas packing up completely, if I knew then what I know now I would have had a stomach by pass but as is my luck to late for that
 
I have had gastroparesis for years and when I read your thing about diarrhoea I couldn't believe it...I would willingly swap,I can't go to the loo anymore unless I " overdose" on laxatives and I'm told by the doc this is ok so long as it gets things moving! I guess the whole gastro thing affects us all differently but I would give anything to not look and feel like a pregnant whale most of the time :-(
 
Hi I guess you are on insulin injections , I am only allowed to have 3 Meals a day & 2/3 pieces of fruit ,like an apple. Saw mr D nurse & she lowered my insulin I an on 2 types a day started at times 2----2.4 & though I was dying , so she lowered insulin & told me to eat not to how much ins- I took but to how much I ate so it was lowered but I have had to raise it a little as numbers got very high . See your nurse at Dr s , they really look after me, I get 40-60 minutes per session so am not in any way hurried. Professional advice is best for me , but I burp loudly all the time so will go and fingers crossed get it sorted ,I look about 7 months pregnant by the evening . Good luck &I keep us posted.

Are you taking metformin? If so, your symptoms are probably being caused by that. Best to speak to your doctor.
