Is there an over-the-counter treatment for gastroparesis?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Not likely: Gastroparesis is a disorder of the motility or movement of the stomach. Preparations that influence gastric motility usually require a doctor's prescription.

Diet: Diet is the only non prescription treatment for gastroparesis. Low fat, low residue diet is recommended. Small frequent meals are also advised.
