Gerd
How can I tell if it is gastroparesis or GERD?
One of the symptoms of gastroparesis is the regurgitation of solids after eating. One of the Symptoms Of Gerd is the regurgitation of bile and digested foods. I often have slight regurgitation an hour or two after eating. The regurgitated product is not made up of pure solids, but it is not pure liquid either. It is significantly acidic and contains some solids, as well as liquid. Does this sound like gastroparesis or GERD?
I am not a doctor, but at a guess I would say that it sounds more like GERD than GP, given you say that it is ‘significantly acidic’. Regurgitation due to GERD is usually liquid, but it’s possible for there to be some solid material as well.
Do you have any other symptoms, or just the regurgitation?
I have severe GP and my regurgitation and vomiting is accompanied by a lot of nausea, bloating and abdominal pain. Even mild GP usually causes at the very least a feeling of early fullness and often nausea as well. My understanding of GERD is that nausea is far less common, and that pain occurs in the chest area (i.e. in the oesophagus) rather than the abdomen.
Whatever the cause, I think you need to be talking to your doctor about it. Frequent regurgitation of acidic contents puts you at risk of complications such as oesophageal ulcers and strictures, damage to your mouth and teeth, and so on.
