Does anybody else suffer from Gasteoperesis? I was diagnosed several years ago, and it hasn't seemed to go away.

I was put on omeprazole to curve the heart burn, and told to "Wait it out and see if my stomach starts working again", but it hasn't, and I just missed my radiologist appointment and can't get in until February.

I was wondering if anybody has any tips for curbing the nausea, appetite suppression, malnutrition, and heartburn (omeprazole doesn't cut it)? I'm getting far too thin, my blood pressure and sugar are getting lower, and have very low energy, so any advice to help get me through the next three months would be greatly appreciated.
 
Could you try using one of the liquid supplements available in supermarkets or pharmacies? Minimising the solid food intake and getting most of your dietary needs from the liquid form should help you get healthy while not provoking the Gastroperesis effects.
