Question 1

can gastroparesis go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

Typically not: Usually requires medical or surgical treatment. Many cases are due to effects of diabetes. Some are 'idiopathic.' in any event, it does not usually resolve spontaneously.

Question 2

how fast can i make my gastroparesis go away?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: Gastroparesis (delayed emptying of the stomach) can be difficult to treat.  If diabetic (most cases are), it may require medications to treat it and likely will not be curable.  If due to scleroderma, it may be very difficult to treat.  If a side effect of medications (such as narcotics), then stopping the medication (always after discussion with the prescribing physician) should cure it.

Question 3

i have been diagnosed with gastroparesis. will it ever go away and is there usually a underlying cause for this disease?

Accepted Answer

Yes, generally: the diagnosis is somewhat non specific to indicate that your stomach function has slowed down compared to what it was before. Usually this follows an acute infection like gastritis or gastroenteritis which are mostly viral. In most cases, symptoms resolve in 3-4 wks. Make sure to follow up with the doctor who made the diagnosis. Don't let him get away until u recover completely!

Question 4

i have postviral gastroparesis. what is the chance it will go away? they say it will resolve in 1 to 2 years but there is no data on it. whats your experience on this matter? is this a correct expectation, or is it just a saying?

Accepted Answer

: Never seen it in 50 years but go to uptodate.com spend some $ and read all about it from the best source.  Also go to pubmed.com and search for   postviral AND gastroparesis to see the worlds lit on it. For Free.

Question 5

i've just been diagnosed with diabetic gastroparesis.  does that go away if my sugars go even lower?

Accepted Answer

May be: Symptoms will be well controlled with strict sugar monitoring and there might be a potential to completely eliminating the symptoms after months or years . But there is no definite data about that.

Question 6

is it possible to make a 100% recovery of post-viral gastroparesis without remission? i am aware it may never go away and will atleast last very long.
