I thought this might be a good place to gather some info. Do any of you suffer from migraines, and if so have you ever experienced gastric stasis? I have done some digging after experiencing some strange digestive issues and I think this might be the answer. My poor doctor has tried to figure things out from my description of symptoms but I never tied the migraines to it before.
For those who aren’t sure, here’s a description of gastric stasis: The term “gastric stasis” means that the stomach empties more slowly than it should. Gastric stasis is common in people with migraine and is thought to cause the nausea and vomiting that happens during an attack. In people with migraine, gastric stasis is common both during and outside the migraine attacks.1
This has been so bad a few times that I have bern unable to eat for several days. Unfortunately the worst episodes have bern when I was out of town. Once at the Grand Canyon, once in a cruise ship, and once this week while in a trip to see my son.
Anyone else experience those?
