A member asked:
Detailed info on the prognosis of postviral gastroparesis? does it recover suddenly/slowly? can it get very bad before then (tubes)? does age matter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastroparesis: This should resolve in a short time. Reglan (metoclopramide) will help. Take care not to over eat at any single sitting. Eat slowly, chew food well, eat small meals, don't get constipated. You will not require feeding tube. Younger age is more likely to resolve
