Dej, when your BP gets too low then your heart rate will increase to try to keep the blood pumping to raise the BP. Even if resting. That's an internal mechanism that seems to be working for you.

When the BP drops so low, it might be not enough fluids in the blood to increase the flow. Ex: like not enough air in a tire will lower the pressure gauge reading in that tire. No enough fluid in the bodies system, lowers the BP pressure. Just an idea from past knowledge.

I found that stool softeners and fiber products did nothing but give bloat and the fiber products extended the intestines. Again without enough fluids, it enlarges the stool size and dries it out, making it move difficult to move along the tract.

Drink plenty of fluids, water is great. I know they try these natural products first. If I am almost impact, due to size and no motility, I take liquid "Milk of Magnesia". I find it gentle. Ask your doctor if you can use that.

When I am full to the max, in the intestines, due to lack of emptying, I have no appetite and belly looks bloated. If I need to get it started I may use a adult glycerin suppository, like "Fleet" makes.

This is just what I do, Gastro doctor is aware and okays it. I am not suggesting you to do this unless you speak with your doctor. I am not sure what you have besides the constipation that makes you toss your cookies. It may be a totally different problem with you. Just giving you ideas what I do.

I, too, gain weight on little food because it stays with me too long. So I make sure the tract keeps moving anyway I can. The daily magnesium works in most cases for me. If not, the liquid works gently. Or a suppository when the urge is there, but with no action to follow.

Good luck my dear.

I too have been suffering so with constiption, and it surely makes the nausea so much worse. I take Miralax double dose twice a day, ontop of colace 50mg twice a day, and then sometimes will use the glycerin laxative suppository if I reach a almost impacted state. I found the miralax to be quite gentle and is working. I have lost the two pounds I gained, so I must be cleaning out. The GI said my goal is two soft BMs per day, and if I dont get that, UP the dose. If I get diarrhea,back off the dose. He was quite willing to give me amatyza or other interventions, but that stuff is hard on the kidneys, and liver.

Tiny bits at at time, my tummy is doing better, but there is still something wrong with it. I can only eat tiny amounts of food, but thats better than none. I look less pregnant, but still need help to keep things moving. I did try a pediatric dose of reglan, and its working! no tics,or jerks.

btw, be aware, Medicare rules are changing, and IF your main diagnosis is idiopathis gastroparesis, medicare WONT pay anymore. Make sure your ruling dx is MS or something else. The new rules are going to start chopping away at several other things, but I dont want to turn this thread into that. I just wanted to talk about my tummy.

Hi Dejibo and All!
I can empathize! I have these issues at times-- great difficulty with digestion, can't eat much, etc. (Neuropathies) My doc tells me it is gastroparesis. I have had the best luck with eating small meals and also with using magnesium citrate. Wow! What a difference for me! (I had been struggling with this for almost a year.)
I also sometimes use digestive enzymes. Probiotics, too.
Maybe you have tried magensium and I can tell you are very conscious of the amount of anything you might swallow. Good for you!
You have really been trying hard at finding what works for you!
I hope you feel better soon!
