Tongue

The Acid reflux medicine I am on is Omeperazol (Prescription Prilosec) I have been taking it since Last July and never had a problem with it. Because some of the issues I had with Gastroparesis seem to be improving, his thinking was that perhaps the medicine was causing my stomach to produce too little acid to properly digest my food and it is now emptying partially undigested.

When I was first diagnosed I was put on a low fat/low fiber diet. I have been able to re introduce much of the foods I used to eat and if anything I am eating more fiber than I was when I was diagnosed. So I dont think adding more fiber would fix the problem.

The only thing I can think of is 1) This is nerve damage related - although with my stomach getting better that seems odd. or 2) This is medication related.

I dont take Metformin which would be the most likely culprit for something like this in a diabetic. I take Lantus insulin instead. The other medicines I take are Neurontin (Gabapentin) and Cymbalta. Both of these are for pain from my peripheral neuropathy. I know that my PN is getting worse. The whole situation is a little frustrating.

Now when I go places, I check where the bathroom is first - Just in case.
One more thing to stress over
