#Gastrointestinal Disorders

[samwisethewitch]

Tried a new restaurant yesterday and got burned. 🫠 But at least I can show y'all what I do for flareups. Part of why I like having tinctures on hand is because it makes it easier to grab something when I feel bad.

I hope this helps y'all next time you have tummy troubles!

Anyway, here's a few symptoms in case it is ever useful to someone:

The ones you probably know

Constipation

Abdominal pain/cramping

The ones you might know

My body has decided to wage war against me. So I am doped up on painkillers so I can sit up in my chair instead of just laying in bed.

Chronic illness is ✨fun✨

best part of having hot people disease (chronic digestive issues) is i get to eat sweet little treats (fiber gummies and antacid tablets) everyday

Me: Calls my mom during a flare up for moral support

My mom: "Go buy prune juice"

Me: "What part of "I am in so much pain I cannot move" do you not understand????"

Anyway if y'all could teleport some prune juice here that would be great

Shout out to disabled people with strict dietary restrictions!

Having strict dietary restrictions can be an incredibly isolating experience, especially when so many cultures have pillars in eating together. Having to go to a restaurant with your friends just to not be able to eat anything, invasive questions about your dietary restrictions, the additional price tag just to be able to eat, the doctors appointments... all of it takes a toll on us. So I want you to know you're NOT alone and that I see you! So, shout out to..

⚡️people with anaphylactic food allergies!

⚡️people with GI disorders like IBS, UC, and Crohns!

⚡️people with celiac disease!

⚡️people with malabsorption!

⚡️people with thyroid issues!

⚡️people with short bowel disease + perforated bowels!

⚡️people with ileostomy and oleostomy bags!

i love you SO much and i hope everything gets easier for you

Tw: gastrointestinal issues, pain, food and discussion of ODing

My antacids aren't working (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) [they previously did]

I never take more than one every two hours [it's not overdosing]

And my throat is burning and I’m getting heartburn as well [diagnosed acid reflux]

I feel dizzy upon going from laying to sitting to standing [despite not previously feeling as dizzy or dizzy at all]

And I don’t know if it’s my eating habits, the fact that I recently had like a tablespoon of coffee, karma of raw cookie dough consumption[which for the record I do not take criticism for, if karma finally got me after 16 years then my gramma’s probably next], my stress levels [recent panic attack], or the fact that I’m wearing tights [restricting clothing can pressurize bloating which normally happens after I eat].

Currently crying in pain :))

Gastric Motility Disorder Drug:  New Treatments Emerging for Difficult Gastric Disorders

Understanding Gastric Motility Disorder Drug GMD are a group of conditions that affect the normal movement of contents through the stomach. The stomach acts as a holding chamber, churning and partially breaking down food before advancing it into the small intestine. In GMD, this process is disrupted leading to a variety of symptoms. Some common types of GMD include gastroparesis, dysfunctional dyspepsia, and nausea and vomiting of unknown cause. Gastroparesis, or delayed gastric emptying, occurs when the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. This allows food to linger and ferment in the stomach, causing discomfort. Symptoms of gastroparesis include vomiting, heartburn, bloating, and abdominal pain after eating. Dysfunctional dyspepsia is characterized by these same symptoms but normal gastric emptying. The exact cause is unknown. Nausea and vomiting of unknown cause involves episodes of nausea and vomiting without an identifiable trigger. All of these conditions can greatly impact quality of life. Current Treatment Limitations The current treatment paradigm for Gastric Motility Disorder Drug focuses on symptom management rather than addressing the underlying dysfunction. For gastroparesis, dietary changes such as smaller, more frequent low-fat meals are recommended, along with prokinetic drugs to stimulate gastric emptying. However, available prokinetics have important tolerability issues and limited efficacy. Metoclopramide is often used but can cause Parkinsonism-like side effects with long-term use. Domperidone is not approved in the U.S. due to cardiac concerns. For symptoms like nausea and vomiting, antiemetics are utilized, but they do not work for all patients and their effects are temporary. Other approaches used include antacids and proton pump inhibitors for reflux relief. While these measures provide some benefit, they do not correct the gastric dysmotility driving the ongoing symptoms. A large unmet need exists for new options that can more predictably and sustainably improve gastric function and resolution of symptoms for those suffering from these difficult disorders. Emerging Treatments Targeting Underlying Pathophysiology Researchers are pursuing novel mechanisms that could restore normal coordinated gastric contractions in order to enhance emptying. One approach involves enhancing vagal nerve stimulation, important for controlling gastric motility. Implantable neurostimulation devices are being studied to electrically activate the vagus nerve in a coordinated manner. Early data suggests increased antral contractions and symptom improvement compared to sham stimulation in gastroparesis patients. Further development is ongoing. Aside from neurostimulation, pharmacological agents targeting specific receptors involved in gastric motility are being investigated. One drug enhances the activity of motilin, a hormone critical for digestive muscle contractions. It is currently in Phase III testing for gastroparesis. By mimicking the natural process motilin triggers, this medication may have the potential to safely and effectively promote gastric emptying in a sustained manner. Another compound under study targets a bile acid receptor called TGR5. TGR5 activation leads to GLP-1 release which drives gastric emptying. Preliminary results show more rapid gastric emptying compared to placebo in healthy individuals. If successful in motility disorders, these novel mechanisms could change the fundamental treatment paradigm. Get More Insights On This Topic:  Gastric Motility Disorder Drug
