I saw my local GI last week. The last time I saw him, he wanted me to increase my meds that make my stomach move. It was supposed to help with my nausea, but made it much worse. I got to the point where I couldn't even lift my head without vomiting, so I backed off of that. I'm still nauseous every day, but I'm not puking my guts out anymore. My dr was baffled by the increased nausea (whaddaya know....). Maybe I should start taking syrup of ipecac. Isn't that supposed to make you puke? It would probably make me feel better.
The latest plan going forward is for me to go on an extremely low fat diet and call him in a few weeks to see if I feel any better. If not, he's going to proceed with the gastric emptying study to see how long it takes to digest my food. I've kind of started on the new diet, though I haven't been great at sticking to it yet. I've missed red meat too much from before my surgery to give it up now. Ok, not smart, I know. I'm trying to find a balance.
So, that's about it for the current plan. I don't find myself feeling a lot better when I do stick to the diet, but it's probably about consistency. My diarrhea is as bad as ever and he didn't have any great suggestions for that except to try a different med. I don't want any more meds!!! My pain is still there and flares up pretty bad at times, too. It's all so frustrating...
