I'm so sorry you are having gastro. problems that are unidentified. I don't have a stim yet, but I've had nausea, vomiting issues for years with my RSD and treatments. Many times it was meds, or extreme shocks to the system...(RSD hyperdrive)) Sometimes it was the meds to stop nausea/vomiting.
In Order for my optimal recovery:
1. Diglyceride licorice{LOL Deglycrrrhizinated} first as I start feeling queasy.
It comes as "RX Vitamins -Chewable Licorice nutritional supplement for the stomach mucosa" Maybe Amazon
2. Aloe Juice.. 2 TBS 2x a day... marvelous for coating the stomach and intestinal lining,ahhhh.
3. Ginger tea(few dollops of fresh ginger boiled) or Tulsi Tummy tea,
I try not to move too much. Calm..Quiet..any respite place to find. and always some music to help the mood.  If that doesn't work I try
4. Gavison - 1/4 tab up to the full monte
5. Ondansetron= Zofran Rx. 4 mg prn...
6. Carafate Rx only.
Definitely make sure they look at your stomach and GI in addition to care around the stimulator. Ulcers cause all kinds of grief as does gastritis... I try to avoid the prescriptions because they cause other symptoms but we must do what we must.
I am being worked up for some genetic diseases now, after testing positive for MTHFR...not uncommon at all but combined with certain risk factors can cause all types of troubles... now I have GI issues not unlike you. I have gastroparesis, IBS, chemical sensitivity to so so many things... gluten intolerant, dairy allergy ... holy moly. So, I am working some with a ND who cares about all of this... will keep you posted.
Prayers for tummy ease..

Hi Hana!
Thanks or your reply. Sorry you are feeling low lately
I did have my SCS's removed in January because of some issues I was having with them and the effectiveness went away. Some of those issues I was having went away too. So glad the pain around the battery in my front/side went away. Now I know it was the SCS!
I too have gastroparesis and was diagnosed with IBS. I have had soooo many tests and scans done to my digestive tract...it is crazy. I was recently diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC - chronic bladder pain) and that can cause IBS also. Also have pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD)...so that and IC explains a lot of the pain I have been having. Of course I cannot tolerate the meds for IC and PFD, just have to follow a very strict diet, have to avoid a lor of foods that cause bladder pain. Then there is my food allergies and gluten intolerance.
I will look into those tricks and tips you use. I know several of them I cannot do because of IC restrictions and allergies
Thanks again!
Nanc
