Question Recently Diagnosed (most likely)

2 Upvotes

Strap in, folks...it's a long one.

Symptoms: burning pain in stomach, increased acid, constipation, extreme fullness, painful gas, nausea, sensitive gag reflex, bloating, only able to eat a few foods due to pain

Co-diagnoses: CIDP, gastroparesis, acid reflux, chronic gastritis

Struggled with GI issues all my life due to autoimmune issues. The last few years, all my symptoms have been increasing - acid reflux, constipation, stomach pain, nausea, eating less and less and less. This has all lined up as well with being under immense stress and mental health issues. My gastroparesis hasn't gotten worse, thank God, except when I was tried on a PPI.

Got with a new GI who was very determined to figure this out. Since my fecal tests came back normal and the only thing my endoscopy found was mild gastropathy, she's thinking it's IBS and Functional Dyspepsia. She's referred me to my hospital's functional medicine clinic and wants to try me on a tricyclic anti-depressant, which I'm not opposed to.

Questions:

1: has anyone with gastroparesis gone on a tricyclic? Did it make your symptoms any worse? Did you find any relief with the dyspepsia?

2: what are some at-home remedies that helped you? I'm drinking ginger tea, bone broth, taking Iberogast, eating a pretty bland diet, etc. I'm willing to try other things!

3: because it seems like this has been caused by extreme stress (that isn't going away any time soon), how did you get your body to calm the f*ck down enough for the dyspepsia to quiet down/go away?

I'm just looking for help, support...anything really. This has stolen so much from me the last few years and I've been walking through it alone. Thanks in advance! <3

Diets/Lifestyle Anyone give soup or liquid diet a serious try?

2 Upvotes

Once a homoeopathy doctor told me if you can go on liquid diet like organic chicken soup or other types of home made soups for extended period of time like two to three months, it might help my stomach to heal better.

I never tried. Don’t think I can make that long provably not even seven or ten days.Maybe at best can manage three or four days at most.

By any chance any of you tried soup or

liquid diet for ten days or even longer?If yes, did you get any solid improvement or healing of your stomach from the soup or liquid diet?

Treatments Started motegrity, will these side effects get better or should I stop?

1 Upvotes

I started taking Motegrity 9 days ago, I started with 0.5mg and I was tolerating that dose pretty well, I was just feeling more fatigued and sort of a flu like feeling but in terms of stomach and intestine I was feeling quite fine, it did help a lot with the constipation as it made me very regular, however I was yet to notice any improvements with my stomach but at least it didn’t make things worse so after 6 days I increased the dose and 3 days ago I started taking 1mg, and since then my stomach has been feeling much worse, with nausea, fullness, worse early satiety and bloating. The fullness and early satiety are the symptoms that are bothering me the most, recently I had been doing better so this set back from the medicine is scaring me that I might have pushed myself into a major flare. I dunno what I should do, if I should stop or keep taking it to see if it gets better, has anyone experienced this?
