A member asked:
Diagnosed with gastroparesis, slow transit bowel and tight sphincter/rectal muscle problems. help!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High sympathetic : High sympathetic nervous system activity will slow transit time, reduce ability to digest food, increase sphincter tone. Avoid calcium supplements (calcium increases sympathetic tone), consider magnesium supplmentation (magnesium blocks effects of calcium) see your doc. Good luck!
