Depends on dx: Domperidone and metaclopramide are pro-kinetic agents, that help stimulate stomach and intestinal motility. If you are having gastroparesis as the underlying cause of reflux, then you may also be a candidate for gastric pacemaker. This involves significant screening and testing to determine whether you would be a candidate.
