Prokinetics When the Emptying Test Is Normal
Episode 5694
Published 3 days, 13 hours ago
Description
Daniel had his gallbladder out seven years ago and has had digestive trouble ever since — visible distension, a sense that food isn't moving, and a gastric emptying study that came back normal. He wants to know whether modern prokinetics are safe for long-term use, and whether they can still be justified when the test is negative. It turns out the answer hinges on something stranger than a drug label: the gap between what a test measures and what a body actually does. This episode walks through the four-hour egg test and its ten-percent threshold, the five distinct ways it can come back clean while something is genuinely wrong, and the twenty twenty-three evidence suggesting prokinetic symptom relief may have nothing to do with speeding up emptying at all.
