Gastroparesis is a condition in which the passage of food through the stomach becomes slower than usual. The primary cause for this is slow muscle movement of the stomach. As a result, there is delayed emptying of the stomach. Gastroparesis is also known as partial paralysis of the stomach.
Homeopathic medicines help strengthen the stomach muscles to enhance their contractile activity. The top homeopathic medicines indicated for gastroparesis include Lycopodium Clavatum, Hydrastis, and Pulsatilla Nigricans.
Homeopathic Treatment of Gastroparesis
The homeopathic system of medicine works very well to manage the symptoms of gastroparesis, and also to treat the condition. Symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloated abdomen, fullness in the stomach, heartburn, and stomach pain are well-managed with these homeopathic remedies. Some prominent homeopathic medicines indicated for gastroparesis include Lycopodium Clavatum, Hydrastis, Pulsatilla Nigricans, China Officinalis, Nux Vomica, Bismuth and Carbo Veg. The most suitable medicine is selected individually for every given case of gastroparesis based upon the symptom presentation.

Contractive pain in stomach extending to the chest is another characteristic feature. The above features are noted even from eating the simplest kind of food.
Causes and Risk Factors for Gastroparesis
The cause for gastroparesis is not yet known. It is thought that the main nerve that goes to the stomach (vagus nerve) and controls the emptying of the stomach gets affected under this condition. Usually, the muscle contractions of stomach propel the food into the small intestine. These muscle contractions are under the control of the vagus nerve. In any case of damage to the vagus nerve, the signal to stomach muscles gets disrupted, resulting in slow digestion. This causes the food to stay in the stomach for more than the usual time. Many risk factors predispose a person to gastroparesis, like taking certain medicines (like morphine, antidepressants), diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism. Gastroparesis is also noted in certain medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease and scleroderma.
Symptoms of Gastroparesis
The main symptoms that arise in gastroparesis include a sensation of fullness in the stomach from eating even the slightest amount of food, abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting of undigested food, low appetite, abdominal discomfort/ pain, and acid reflux/heartburn. Weight loss may attend the above features.
No appetite, bloating, abdomen hard and tight, sometimes velly sounds, pressure less stool seem to me large and small intestine paralysed, velly burden, seem to me abdomen will break out.
Hi – I was diagnosed in Dec 2019 with Gastroperesis. Over the past 2 weeks, starting week 3 I have had a flare. I have pain in stomach, feels like knots, gurgling after eating, nausea and loss of appetite and constant diarrhea . I feel tired all the time. How do I take these medications listed? Do I need a prescription? I am 5’4″, 57 years old, weigh 138lbs and in fairly good shape. Right now I am miserable. My GI dr recommends I eat a liquid diet for 7 days.
Can you suggest to me home remedies for gastroparesis?

Hello. My wife is suffering from severe gastroparesis and has been for about 9 months now. She is living on three Resource 2.0 meal replacements per day (480 calories per 8 oz.). She has had the gastric emptying study and many medical tests. We are trying to solve this without dangerous prescriptions medicines. She suffers from hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s), interstitial cystitis, dry eyes, and other issues, so we don’t want to overstimulate her immune system. We’ve read so much conflicting information about adaptogenic herbs. We truly think ashwahgandha, holy basil, and rhodiola rosea look promising. However, WebMD says to avoid ashwahgandha should be avoided by people with autoimmune disorders. We will be using all liquid versions of these adaptogens. Thank you for listening. Anything she puts in her stomach will be there for hours, so we can’t put anything in there that will cause gastritis, ulcers, etc. Your input and guidance would be a blessing. Thank you.
Look into upper cervical instability. Look into Lyme They disrupt so many functions of the body. I watch dr Hauser from Caring Medical Fort Myers Florida on YouTube

Hello Dr. Sharma,
I am at my wits end with my stomach. Stopped decades long treatment of Fibromyalgia with anti-depressants and anxiety meds when I learned I was
taking benzodiazepines and the dangers. Became very angry at the doctors who prescribed this s–t to me for all those years.
Needless to say, now am suffering severe gastroparesis, chronic constipation, and muscle spasms so bad I feel my heart may stop
at any time during a bad spell. Been trying to treat myself with the cell salts, and homeopathic remedies such as Nux Vomica,
Lycopodium, etc. but don’t know enough to figure out the best remedy, strength, and how often to take….so not
getting the results I need. My hair is falling out en masse….looking like a cancer patient. Can you please advise me
on what remedy(s) to take and how often, strength, etc.
In much appreciation,
Sharon

I am a 71 years old male. I thought I was in good health until a years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer. After being treated with chemotherapy and radiation, I am now cancer free, but have developed Gastroparesis. I have lost 60 lbs in the last few months. I cannot taste food, have tightness in my throat and never feel hungry. After a few bites of food, I feel full. Presently I am taking Reglan which helps a little.
Please tell me you can help me.
Hello Dr. Sharma, I was pleased to find your website on Gastroparesis. My son is diabetic, diagnosed a few years ago. He is 45. He had it for months before he ever told me and still he won’t talk much about it other than he is “hardly ever hungry” and he feels like a big rock is in his stomach. He is a butcher and on his feet all day long on a concrete floor. He has problems with both knees and both ankles. He was on insulin pump for a couple months, but it was always beeping an alarm to him and he finally took it off. Back to using the pen now.
He has lost a LOT of weight and appears like a malnourished labor camp prisoner. My heart agonizes for him and I pray for him much. I think he is depressed, but he tells his doc he is not. He does not like to verbalize about it, b/c he is trying to trust God for healing. Therefore, I don’t know the name(s) of medication he is taking. I wonder if you could help in locating a Homeopathic, Holistic doctor for Brandon near FARMINGTON, MO.? I would be forever grateful. It has only been 7 months since Brandon’s sister died. She too had diabetes. She too had Gastroparesis. I do hope to hear something back from you. I am going to print the info from your page and give it to Brandon. God bless you.
I am having difficulty to digest especially in the evening. Food comes up immediately after eating and this creates cough.
Hello Doctor,

Hello,
I am diagnosed with severe gastro paresis after 6 stomach surgeries. They proposed and pyloroplasty but i want to try first to take homeopathic medicines to see if that does anything for me. I can not throw up anymore but have pain, bloating, gas, belching and pain. Also not hungry and always a full feeling in my stomach. Please let me know if and what i could take to feel better?
Sir, my father who is diabetic since almost 20 years has now been recently diagnosed with gastroparesis. The food remains in his stomach for almost 12 hours as per the report from the gastroenterologist after doing his upper GI scopy. Though now he is on medications but still I don’t see his conditions improving. Solid food remain in his stomach and if he takes even a sip of water then after some time he vomits it out.
If you can then please revert back at the earliest if there is some way out in homeopathy that could make him and his condition better
