I’m a new member 23.8.2020 based in UK. I was wondering what experience people have with Prucalopride for Gastroparesis and constipation. Started it 3 weeks ago and I started having regular daily bowel movements. Week 3 nothing. Great though not to have felt if been sick.

I found that Prucalopride, along with all other meds needed a boost, so I added 2 Kiwi fruits per day, and that seems to be working. Good luck and stay safe.
