Domperidone speeds up stomach movement through the gut.  It's a long 
term drug, in that people using it for original purpose, can use it for 
years.  It's also used to stop people throwing up.  :-)  Available over 
the counter here for stomach upsets.

I was prescribed it for gastric reflux in the late 80s.  It worked very 
well, but I had to come off it... I began lactating.  :-)
