Below is a popular list of treatments mentioned in various sources for Gastroparesis. Always seek professional medical advice about any treatment or change in diet if you have GP.
Prescriptions: Erythromycin although an antibiotic, it also helps digestion (didn’t work for my loved one though), Domperidone and Antiemetics – to avoid vomiting.
Diet changes: Smaller meals, liquid meals, low-fat diet, low-fiber diet
Other Medical Procedures:
- Endoscopic injections – for bezoars
- Feeding tube (jejunostomy tube) – a tube directly into the intestine bypassing the stomach; severe cases only
- Intravenous feeding (Parenteral nutrition) – severe cases only; often for temporary relief in hospitalization
