Maybe constipation: It is possible that your "gastroparesis" or delayed gastric emptying was part of your underlying irritable bowel/constipation syndrome in which your bowels are sluggish. Linzess is a new drug to treat this. Seems to really help about 1/2 of patients with this problem. Glad it helped you.

Having gastroparesis: Prevents you from absorbing much nutrients and food thus stool formation is minimal and nothing is coming out of your rectum.Ask your dr/gi/surgeon of ways - medically or surgically - to correct your gastroparesis (could this be due to diabetes?) regarding weight loss, consider exercising more , stay active, have your thyroid tested , any adrenal gland problem ?Try prune juice, laxatives.Bless u!
