I was diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2000. My son is now 6 months old and healthy. I had a very hard ist trimester without medication until I ended up in the ER with a complete intestinal blockage that coincided with a burst ovarian cyst. My OB put me back on Reglan for the duration of the pregancy and it made a world of difference. I was nervous about taking it, but my growing baby wasn't getting any nutrition from my low fat, low fiber diet. After I went back on Reglan I could tolerate fruits and vegetables and whole grains again. I found out that reglan is routinely given to pregnant women and nursing moms, as well as babies and children. If you are in misery, ask your doctor about it. Hang in there.
