Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.
First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through. Based on the history you have shared, yes it's time for medical therapy to act now, and domperidone and other motility agents are the first choices to start with.
Alongwith that fibre containing diets and good hydration will also help. Avoiding processed foods as much as you can specially those from which fibre content is removed or too much grinder contents may be avoided.
If domperidone doesn't give much benefits, other drugs like itopride etc may also be helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
