gastroparesis and help treatment

Good luck with your tests. I’ve wondered if I had this condition, but I don’t have enough symptoms, so I don’t think I do. I had a friend who had it and she had a surgical procedure for it. She later told me it was successful and she didn’t suffer anymore. I hope you can get answers to your questions and find relief.

I have gastroparesis for the last 10 year's complicated with malabsorption and chronic nausea. I am on a feeding tube into my small intestine and pump fed and flushed for 18 hours a day. It is not a kind disease. Some people can have it not as bad and still eat 5 small meals a day. I honestly hope you don't have it because it never goes away and seems to get worse as the years go by. I hope they can find a curable problem that you are having. Love and prayers ❤️ 🙏 ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

That sounds like you've had a rough time. prayers for you

My test for gastro paresis came back negative. I am glad for that

What is the test used to diagnose this? I've had two endoscopies and each time I was told that I have delayed gastric emptying. Both were done for other purposes like acid based gastritis (negative). I guess I assumed they diagnosed that because after following the fasting instructions, I still had a certain degree food in my stomach. I have so many possible/probable GI issues, I couldn't even say for sure what symptoms I have from it outside of getting full early in a meal. I hope they can discover what is causing your symptoms earlier than later.

Do they know what caused your gastroparesis? Are you diabetic?

No I am not a diabetic. They don't know why. I believe it was from a gynecologist that did a simple procedure, but apparently decided to take on an abundance of scar tissue that you could not see through. I got really sick days after my so called simple procedure. I called and they just said it was normal. After 2 weeks and losing 20 pounds to 90 pounds I called again and said I needed to come in because something isn't right. They refused to see me. Finally I went to a gastroenterologist whom I still go to and he diagnosed me with gastroparesis. Then I just kept going downhill. I will always believe that the gynecologist cut something that he shouldn't have.

The cough could be laryngopharyngeal reflux, LRP, which developed because of other issues. See if this information can provide you relief for part of your problems: https://jamiekoufman.com. So sorry you are going through all this.
