A friend of mine was diagnosed with gastroparesis back in the late 1990’s. Horrible disease. She had to carry a cup everywhere to vomit up her saliva as it would just sit in her stomach until she would involuntarily heave it up. She ended up getting a feeding tube. Very sad. Very sweet girl.

My sister has gastroparesis she has three kids, the youngest being 5 months old..when she is pregnant it was extra difficult for her since the stomach has a harder time working so she would take reglan to make food go down quicker, she took a small amount everyday or whenever needed the doc told her it was safe for the baby she really had no choice..its a horrible horrible disease
