Would it be benefitial to stimulate igf1 in a person with gastroparesis? to heal en repopulate icc gastric cells? your opinion?

Dr. Clarence Grim answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Never use abbreviations. I cannot answer as I am not certain what igf1 stands for where you are located. Immunoglobulin Funky 1 or what? This can be deadly in medicine. I would look for cause of gastroparesis first and treat that.
