Recently I had NSAID induced gastritis. I was put on vonoprazan fumarate for a total of 6.5 weeks. Now I have delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis)

I'm not sure what information you are looking for, and I'm not familiar with the drub onoprazan fumarate. Can you please clarify the information from your post?

Im not sure why the rest of message wasn't posted. Basically, can PPI's cause slow gastric emptying and can it be reversed? This is really stressful. I'm always bloated and feel nauseas upon waking. I'm also extremely constipated and had to take laxatives to get some relief

Yes. When you were diagnosed with slow gastric emptying, did your doctor give you any diet suggestions/modifications? I don't know much about gastroparesis, but I would let your doctor explain it to you and give you instructions about how to control the symptoms and whether any medications would be of help to you.

He was very unhelpful. He basically said to take antidepressants and digestive enzymes and hope for the best. I feel very helpless with little support. It has greatly affected my mental health and quality of life

Was this from a gastro doctor or GP? Did you have an endoscopy that gave you a diagnosis of gastritis? My suggestion would be to seek a second opinion.

He was a gastro (specialist) but the medical system in Brazil is floored.
I'm going to see a specialist in Australia next month. It's a very stressful situation.. thank you for the reply
