Gastroparesis. diagnosed via endoscopy liquid diet per g.i . getting sent 2 specialist. how do i ensure getting my nutrients to be as healthy as can?

Symptom control: While endoscopy is part of the work up for gastroparesis it is not a diagnostic test. A gastric emptying study will be needed somewhere along the way. Lexapro (escitalopram) is well known to cause nausea and I would suggest reviewing your chronic meds with your prescriber. The best way to ensure you are getting your nutrients will be to control your nausea. What type of specialist did your Gi send you to?
