Thank You so much
Laurie,
Thank you so much for the information. I have been taking Reglan 30 minutes before each meal and at bedtime. And I've been taking it for 3 weeks now and it hasn't seemed to do very much. I have a lot of bloating still going on and have ha...
Linda,
In my experience Reglan worked in 2-3 days. It is helpful to take it 30 minutes before the meal too. I find the gastroparesis really complicating my blood sugar control. My doctor told me to stop taking the Reglan because of potential side ...
You're welcome, Linda. Good luck with everything. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
Wow you really have had it rough too. Well it is really nice to be able to talk to someone else experiencing the same thing. I'm not sure what my doctor will suggest next but I really don't think this pill is making much of a difference anyway. Ju...
You are welcome for the information. I have a gastric pacemaker/stimulater, which has greatly reduced the number of overall episodes I have. For example, one year I had approximately had 50-60 hospital ER/hospital admissions. Now I probably averag...
Thanks for the information. I will definitely be talking to my doctor regarding the side effects. So if you no longer take Reglan, what do you take if anything? My gastroparesis is so bad that I am hoping something will help it. I've had episodes ...

Thank you Margaret for the information. I joined the group website G.A.T.E. What is "Tardive Dyskinesia"?
Thanks for the information. I guess I will need to talk to my doctor about it. Do you remember how long it took to work? I know some prescription drugs take a month or longer to take effect.
Hi Linda,
I too have had gastroparesis for quite a while (for over 7 years). I was put on many types of meds including Erythromycin, Zofran, and Reglan. I was never really sure if Reglan was really making much of a difference or not. I later had ...
I take Reglan, but it did not work by itself, I take it three times a day and Prescription strength Prilosec twice a day and it is doing pretty good. Not real bloated, no pain and less gas problems like acidic burps, etc. There are different doses...
I am new to this site, didn't know there was this much information on this condition. I've had gastroparesis for over 6 years. When I was first diagnosed I was never treated it for it except given an antibiotic and that was from a stomach speciali...
