Default Gastroparesis

I began suffering from gastroparesis after a bad dysautonomic "flare" for which I was hospitalized last June (it was confirmed by endoscopy and a gastric emptying test).

I understand that small fiber neuropathy (autonomic) may be responsible. I am unsure if this is how I came to suffer from it but I am having quite a bit of difficulty in controlling it (pain, fullness, nausea).

The drugs Reglan and Zofran (or phenerghan) are prescribed for me but I am reluctant to take them, Reglan in particular as it has a black box warning.

Does anyone here suffer from GP? How do you manage it? Mere
