Good friend has both Crohn’s and Celiac Disease. Both are pure He##. I have Gastroparesis..Slow Motility which has a lot of the same symptoms and the GI docs don’t really know how to treat it. Constant GI pain, very limited diet of BLAND food or baby food. Which led to Slow Bowel Transit Time. Stay away from Reglan and Domperidone both are Black Boxed for 2 weeks use only, Reglan has a ton of Neurological side effects, and Domperidone is Black Boxed for Heart Disease, it is NOT available in the USA, you are stuck with the full cost of this high side effect riddled drug. Both have bad side effects.

Other more common drugs in the US can treat vomiting Promethazine or Phanagan at a lower cost and less side effects. TRY GINGER ROOT.

Takes the GI Docs a long time and a lot of testing to realize you don’t have Idiopathic Colitis when you go to the ER puking your guts up, diarrhea that doesn’t stop and your BP in the Heart Attack range causing you chest pain.

A Nutritionist is useless as they don’t understand these diseases. No more than they understand Diabetes. They are pretty useless.
