Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Medicine that helps the stomach empty more quickly (motility agents) are used to treat gastroparesis (Extended-release erythromycin).
However, practically metoclopramide has a better effect on patients. However, if you are feeling better on this antibiotic you can continue with it.
Anorectal manometry measures the pressures of the anal sphincter muscles, the sensation in the rectum, and the neural reflexes that are needed for normal bowel movements.
Any anti-anxiety medication would suppress the nervous system and would result in false results. So you can take Xanax or valium after your test.
Yes, anal manometry would help to see if the problem is there in the upper part of the gut (gastroperesis) or lower part muscles are having contraction problem.
A good line of treatment by the doctor.
