Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Diabetes is a major and most probable cause of a condition called gastroparesis. In this condition the overall motility of the stomach and intestines slows down.
I would advise you the following:
Get the blood sugar, HbA1c and other parameters of diabetes, kidney, liver and thyroid functions to get any other associated problems as you also have hypertension.
Consult you Gastroenterologist to have a proper clinical evaluation, examination and tests of barium meal follow-through under direct vision of a fluoroscopy to know the motility pattern; colonoscopy and any other tests and have a proper planned management.
You will also get a valid prescription for the medications that will help you better than before as per the findings.
