Gastroparesis: Do you have underlying diabetes? If so controlling diabetes will reveal some of your symptoms. Under guidance of your GI specialist, you may want to try metaclopramide, Erythromycin or even a gastric pacemaker if you the right candidate. Reactive gastritis is due to some offending event or substance. Can be controlled by avoiding the offending agent like alcohol or coffee, spices/ antacids help.

Possible: Chronic gastritis due to helicobacter infection is related to stomach cancer, especially lymphoma. Ulcers with chronic inflammation may cause scarring and depending on the location may lead to obstruction. Gastritis due to alcohol use may predispose to usual carcinoma of the stomach.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Not for sure: The upper endoscopy is only part of an evaluation for possible gastric motility issues. An abdominal imaging study as well as a functional study such as upper gi series or gastric emptying are part of the required work up. Your gastroenterologist will be your best resource going forward.

Question 8

Unlikely: For gastroparesis to cause fever. The cause for gastroparesis, viral or autoimmune may cause also low grade fever. Drug fever is also common in case you started new drugs.

Question 9

i went to er for pain in stomach, nausea, not able to eat/not hungry medications for ibs, chronic gastritis, severe reflux and gastropersis weren't wo?

Accepted Answer

Not a question there: Brenda, not clear what you are asking.  You should have a physician if you have all of those diagnoses.  ER's are not good place to make complicated diagnoses except in emergencies.  Would strongly suggest that you consult your own physician as to what you can do to improve your symptoms and wellbeing.  If you are not satisfied, ask for a second opinion or a specialist referral.  Good luck!

Question 10

how to cure gastritis?

Accepted Answer

Gastritis: Gastritis is a temporary state, and means inflammation of the stomach lining. Start with focusing on your diet, eliminate any foods that cause your stomach to hurt. Keep track of how you feel after meals in a diary. Many times using a acid suppressor medication like Nexium or Protonix on a regular schedule will result in cure over the next 4-6 weeks. Pepcid is another good option. Hang in there!!
