I'm going in for a gastric emptying test in about 8 hours, and have been experiencing a lot of anxiety about it. I found your video to be very informative, which helped to sooth a little bit of my stress. Thank you!
@@paulgonzales1041 it's only a small amount of radiation so it is safe seeing as you'll only be doing it once. If you were eating radioactive eggs every day that's another story but it this situations the benefits would outweigh the risks and the dose isn't large enough to be particularly dangerous.
Im having my gastric emptying study on the July 15 and this video helped me understand what will be done . I’ve had my gallbladder removed in 2018 and I’m still experiencing stomach issues I’ve been diagnosed with gastritis and I have an hiatal hernia on my esophagus so this test is important because I get acid reflux in my sleep and I’m afraid I would choke because it comes up and exits my nose it’s so annoying
Getting this test done early in the morning. The clinic im going to told me i can't eat after midnight and my options were oatmeal or beef stew. I was diagnosed with chronic gasteritis, two different sugar intolerances, and BAM. I was hoping I'd get to eat eggs but nope. Now I'm worried i'll have to run to the bathroom after eating. I don't believe i have gastropasis if anything i figure i empty to fast that's probably why i get sick if i dont eat enough or wait to long to eat i get sick. Luckily my test is only going to last two hours instead of the 4 hours. I'm a bit nervous but this video is helpful.
@jenniferholland9656 thanks. I survived. I ended up very sick the night before because of anxiety and bile reflux. I felt extremely nauseated by the time I had to go for the test. Once I ate the oatmeal it surprisingly settled my stomach. I did fine during the test but It's a 2 hour test laying down with a scanner right up again the stomach. Reminded me of the hida scan. They left me alone. My bladder started bothering me half way in so I had to start hollering for someone to pause it so I could use the bathroom. Other then that I did fine. My test was negative. Since then I've found out that I'm no longer sugar intolerant but I have bile reflux gastritis and GERD. My gi doctor also suspects I could have SIBO so I'm being treated for that but still having gi issues.
Had this done May 16. Found out I have gastroparesis, only mild. But I have severe GI disturbances. Test wasn't bad at all. U can't taste the radioactive substance. It just takes a lot of time.
Nicole Moore Nearly everything I eat makes me nauseous. I'm extremely gasey. I'm bloated at all times. I feel full after eating a small amt of food. I have severe idiopathic constipation...only poop once a week, and only after I take a laxative. GP is a paralysis of the bottom of the stomach. And that's what it feels like. Like sumtin inside is not moving properly, like its frozen or like I have concrete moving thru my GI tract. Hope this helps.
im extreamly skinny even tho i eat all the time im bloated my bones have gotten bad. i dont throw up but get gurd sometimes. im seeing a gi tomorrow. idk if i have this or not.
Had this test today and it wasn't bad at all, I was fearful that the eggs would taste different but they tasted normal :) I should get the results in 2 days to find out if I have gastroparesis.
I've had this test last year, and since then, I've gotten much worse, so I probably need a repeat Gastric Empthing Study. I have a feeding tube, and I'm on tube feeding, and have a ventilator that connects to a tracheostomy. I don't empty right. My stomach is a mess. I think I'd be better on TPN, but Mom and the Drs. don't want want me on TPN. When TPN is such a great nutrition strategy! I'm losing wait once AGAIN!!
Thank you, I was told it would be a 4 hour procedure. But I’m vomiting my acid so much, in so much pain, bleeding in my bowels, stabbing pain around my navel I need some relief fast Every time I eat, I have to go have a bowl movement
Im probably gonna have to get this done soon. I feel full quick and get hungry super fast. The worst part is I feel super weak and lightheaded before and immediately after eating. And I’m extremely gasey!!! These symptoms have made my life miserable. Ugh. I can’t even work out because of them. 😤
Just had this test today wasn't so bad but, you have to lay down for 1 hour or 4 hours straight depending on which test you have to do I had both. Easier said than done having to stay that still but I slept through the majority of it. I just had to know how it was done, I didn't know until I was there that I would have to drink radioactive apple juice!!
Oh, okay. Thanks. Because I have dysphagia, amongst other things. I think I saw in another video that they had to eat radioactive eggs. I pray they have me do the drink. Because I can't swallow many things right now. Thanks for sharing. MANY blessings to you and yours in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ of NAZARETH. The name above ALL names. AMEN.
For anyone concerned about the egg, my local hospital offers tofu as an alternative and some allow cheese but not all - just contact them before the appointment to see if these alternatives are available to you.
Good video. This took some of my anxiety away. Waiting to be called in. I read somebody 's notes regarding the coft and they lost their voice. I am a professional singer, so I am worried about this.
i need help after surgery in November, now i have a slow stomach , nobody has helped me had a blockage spend 4 days in hospital, home again feeling worse i sleep sitting up when i sleep still have stuff backing up i am getting weak, am 74 years old ready to give up totaly , it started with h hernia repair were my stomach went true it and landed in my chest by moving my stomach to were it suppose to be from then on nothing is helping me reflux never stops it hurts not hungry at all getting very depressed this not a life
karin graham I am so sorry that you are having such a horrible time right now. I really hope you got the right help and are feeling better. Chronic illness and pain do bring on depression and I'm hoping you've discussed this with your medical physician for extra help. Wishing you The Best N
have a nice doctor went true all theses tests, my stomach just dont work without meds and slow , meds are not good for this problem and my regular medicin like blood pressure and restless legs don't digest on time and i am totally confused get no sleep because of this maybe 2 hours a night . past 3 days i did not get hungry at all kind of sick to my stomach .
I’m trying so hard to get out of this test, I’ve had some “mystery stomach illness” I had a barium swallow test no real result but suspected gastroparesis but, mild. since April 2021, it’s comes and go’s some months it spirals up ITHER times not, it’s mainly getting nauseous and cramps. I’ve been on meds for it to help my appetite and it works amazingly and I’m completely fine just being on it, no problems no nothing. I’m doing great but every time I see my dam gastro doctor she tells me oh this is wrong and that, she makes me cry every time and she couldn’t care but she says she does. She wanted me to get a endoscopy mind this I’m terrified of throwing up and never have during any of this, I’m also terrified of being sedated. It took my a month begging my mom to cancel it. She finally gave in but said I had to get this. I agreed, now I’m having people tell me on TikTok that it’s hell and it makes everyone feel horribly sick after and the thought of radioactive eggs?! I get sick to my stomach every time I eat eggs, and if I’m being honest. I may throw up from all of that, which would send me into a full panic attack. I’m getting the test in 7 days and I’ve been begging my mom and I need ANY HELP OR TIPS to get out of this I just want EVERYONE to understand though I may not be my best off of my 5 ml dose of stomach medicine. 💀 IM FINE
Super late, but I've seen multiple people claim they had little to no problems after and have gotten to do it with oatmeal or in liquid form depending on where you get it done. I would talk to your doctor to see if you can choose or just request liquid, as it also doesn't take as long as the solid test. As for the radiation, from my understanding they make sure it's a small enough dosage to not cause an insane amount of damage. Good luck with your health. 👋🏽 Edit: also heard people got toast or at the very least salt and pepper, if that helps! Congrats on your bravery just in case I'm too late for any of this info to matter! 👏🏽
I need this test done but my local hospital isn't able to do it standing up. With heart failure and clostraphobia I guess its not an option for me. Thank you for the video.
I couldn't stop gagging on the egg whites - they smelled DISGUSTING! The tech kept saying 'If you throw up, the test is over!' The rest of it was way easier than I thought it would be, but yeah, they need to change their food, or give people a choice of 2 or 3 things.
What do folks with egg allergies use? I'm autistic and cannot, cannot, eat eggs due to the texture. I'm not saying that's an allergy, but there's got to be another way.
Sobe Ceo what???? they told me to drink 8 glasses of water, after the procedure. Omg! You scared me, I just came back from the test and had 2 glasses of what already, and after I read your comments check on my releases paper. Wheeeeee! I was right.
Exactly. Tbh i find following a strict dier and getting plenty of fermented food or milk helped me than the 3 gastroenterologist i had. They wanted me to do this i stood then as they were just asking for so many tests for no reason. They were rude also. Everything there was. I heloed myself and im so happy now!!!

TheHeatherjane I hope there is other choices I actually hate eggs
I am sure there are other things because I know some that are allergic to them, just ask and I am sure they have a substitute :)
Doug E. Doug It depends on the lab doing the tests. One option is oatmeal. Another option is to drink Ensure or Boost.
Ik this was 4 years ago but. Howd it go?
My doctor just ordered this test for me to see about gastroparesis too! I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for explaining to me so well , I just had this exam and you made it much easy for me!!

I'm sitting here at the 2 hour mark having a study done and the egg is still in my stomach.
So sorry. It's miserable
Had my endoscopy done earlier today, and it looks like I need one of these too
Have to get this in a couple of hours not fond of eggs so I'm sure it will be fun... Thanks for the video.

hey how'd it go? did they find out your diagnosis? i kinda have the same symptoms
holy crap me too, those exact symptoms please tell us dude
Sounds like dumping syndrome
Update?
What the side-effect of drinking radiation???

U have to stay still for four hrs do they give u something to relax u or help u sleep
Did they find anything?

@@ladennayoung2939May I ask did you have your test done yet and what the outcome was?….. I’m taking my mom to get one she’s super nervous about it…..

I have been coughing a month now even lost my voice from this
I loved this test- where can you eat an egg and the sleep for 2-3 hours?
I think I may need this test done
Nicely explained 👍
What happens when that child is asd, non verbal? What kind of test then? He's also type 1 diabetic.
I need this test done but my local hospital isn't able to do it standing up. With heart failure and clostraphobia I guess its not an option for me. Thank you for the video.
I dont understand do you have to sleep standing not talking about the test just you in general
My baby will have this done in a few weeks. He’s only 2 months old...I’m terrified..
How did it go?
Late response, but how is your baby? Did the test go well?
Great presentation.
Is there a way for a tech.to manipulate the outcome of the test?
thanks a lot it was pretty informative
you have to stand in that machine for 2+ hours?
I have gastroparis so I’m going do this test soon
I couldn't stop gagging on the egg whites - they smelled DISGUSTING! The tech kept saying 'If you throw up, the test is over!' The rest of it was way easier than I thought it would be, but yeah, they need to change their food, or give people a choice of 2 or 3 things.
What do folks with egg allergies use? I'm autistic and cannot, cannot, eat eggs due to the texture. I'm not saying that's an allergy, but there's got to be another way.
They told me I could have a fatty food substitute. I would just tell them you’re vegan or something if I didn’t reach out too late to you.
I’m supposed to get this done and I’m most nervous about eating an egg because I HATE eggs, hopefully I can keep it down
My 9 year old is going to need this done. She pukes if she eats eggs. Can they use any other food?
I heard there are other options like oats ?
Very difficult test for me. Laying down, looking up at the ceiling for about 3 or 4 hours was terribly boring.
Oh noooo please😩
If you dont like eggs or are allergic to it, you can have porridge instead.
I am having a test on February 14.I don't eat eggs cooked in butter or margarine.l don't eat oatmeal.Could someone get back to me
I might have to take this test but I'm really scared...
How'd it go?
Don’t be scared , everything will be okay ..
Do any of you have achalasia?
Standing up is way better than laying down. I had done mine today and I laid down for 90 minutes. Sucked!
Had this and the eggs were disgusting even with the toast! Also you can't have water for the 4 hours.
Sobe Ceo what???? they told me to drink 8 glasses of water, after the procedure. Omg! You scared me, I just came back from the test and had 2 glasses of what already, and after I read your comments check on my releases paper. Wheeeeee! I was right.
