Depends: Gastroparesis is often linked to diabetes. If the drug you are taking for nausea is metoclopramide, you may find improvement since it increases GI motility. There is also evidence that low doses of certain antibiotics can improve motility as well. Discuss this with your gastroenterologist since the are side effects associated with either therapies.
