I too have it and the specialist gave me Reglan and said I may have to take it the rest of my life.  I noticed improvement the first week.  Does she take this?

Hi,
Reglan provides relief from the symptoms of gastroparesis. But it does not cure the underlying cause.
Confirm gastroparesis with the help of gastric emptying study.
Evaluate for the underlying cause like diabetes and treat the underlying cause also for better relief.
