Gastritis, diarrhea, constipation, GERD diagnose can be mistaken.
Gastroparesis ? means Slow emptying. I see GI this Tuesday to schedule test. 2019 diagnose gastroparesis. 2022 diagnose Chronic Gastritis. My Chart is extremely helpful. Know what drs do not tell you. I got off Colesevlam & dicyclomine for diarrhea. If you get this let your dr know when you have accomplished Stop. I told mine in 12/2023. he didn't listen. 4y's diarrhea turned to constipation entire 2024. w stomach Distensions so huge, look & feel 10 mo pregnant. Painful. Maternity tops at 66yy. Last 3 weeks got off GERD med., Fiber supplement & try anything to help go. I bought 8000mg Artichoke & take 1 a day w meal. I'm day 4 w going every day. Relief.

Home remedies re Redundant long torturous colon. GES tested Negative. Asked did I set myself up for false negative? Because I fasted W- Mondays test appt. Occurred to me the day after test. Called Neuclear med imaging & they said to end the insanity they called X-ray & both said No. I think it did in retrospect. If I went in there w stomach distension huge & swollen intestines the Food would not have any where To go & wouldn't digest Fast. Now I'm restricted from textures. I've enjoyed textures in food. But I'll savor mush & feel blessed. There's so many debilitating diseases, syndromes, & just when I think I'm on the right path, I'm not, but I know the One who is. Cheers, Cheers
Hi,
Strangely enough I used to have the house, cars etc and discovered I didn't need any of it. Still have a new car but something plainish that does what I need of it. I actually built my mansion believing it was what we wanted. Trouble was we needed a road map to find our way around it! Finally the penny dropped average houses can be fine, they keep the rain and wind out just as good and less maintenance is required.
After years of the insinuation that my problems are psychological in nature and almost believing the "doctors" the proof is in from a MRI scan. There are physical reasons for my health issues. You can bet there are going to be some red faces when I see my so called doctors net week. I may do some crazy things but I'm not crazy thank God.
Contemplation of what to do with the big switch is again on my mind. If I can't get the medical help I want and kind of expect, then will I stop and reject all medication to help nature to take its course. I guess if I decide to use the big switch then I'm kind of proving the case that I'm nuts to them anyway! Murphy's law.
Cheers
Righteo. My husband sees me distended & says you can't drink a bottle of water on an empty stomach w/o blowing out. You can't make this s☆☆☆ up in your head! I ask for a .05mg klonopin & cut that in 1/2 & doctors do not want to give any comfort. While we're eating, walking, drinking properly or when bowels 🛑 from aggressive action taken on drs part & then not telling me the pt to 🛑 taking the med, the tables turn. Who is what. & has botox signs all over his office. Great! That's what I'm in, a plastic office. I go in to have my prolapse checked & he offers a tetanus shot. Really. Whose got screws loose
@cheyene I know life is funny like that. Putting stock in your home & mine was pride. Just when you think you've had enough God shows up, gets our life into a complete different perspective & at the end of life, He's our choice. I'll see you on the other side. Stay strong
Hi,
Unfortunately that sort of support has dissapeared from my wife. Now with MRI results proving there are physical reasons why I am as I am, she doesn't like egg on her face. I stopped a suicide attempt of a friend a little while ago and he is the only one who believed I am not mentally disturbed by my history.
I was begining to come around to their way of thinking as no one wanted to look deeper into my health issues, just took one interested specialist to move my case forward and get to the truth of the matter. I'm so relieved but also so very p--off with the rest of my medical team. I will be holding them all accountable in due course.
Cheers.
Hi,
Although I tend to conduct myself along christian beliefs I'm not a religious person. I have run into too many who are selfserving christians that I can't be part of. I must say I also know some who are true christians through thick and thin living the life of true christianity. I always figured I'd end up stoking the fires of hell and be warm at least!
I have found myself at the pearly white gates twice in my life and been refused admission, I'm not sure if that is being lucky or unlucky. I guess it very much depends on your perspective. I can never tell if the glass is half full or half empty, it is all the same to me, half a glass of whatever.
Maybe just dumb luck all said and done.
If it is part of the "bigger plan"I wish someone would change the plan quickly, because it is not particularly comfortable.
Take care.
Cheers
Divine intervention. I, personally do not believe in luck. I know you're not comfortable. I'm not either. Giving up meat for 30g protein drinks all day to keep muscle mass. I'm down to a dozen foods that are soft textured. Approaching this w insight that my GES was normal. It's my intestines. Redundant torturous colon. I just thank God I can prepare my food & be grateful. Hope you'll feel better soon
Hi,
Anybody that believes they are comfortable with digestive problems hasn't got serious digestive problems. I'm reasonable happy I can manage with it. Had a binge eat 3 days ago, hunger and bigger eyes than my gut got me. First time off the bread and water in over a month. Damn it felt good at the time but taking 48 hours to digest it all wasn't the best feeling going. More fool me, Christmas came early! Blew the glucose levels into orbit and the BP went with it. What the hell, I can't be goodie two shoes all the time. Now to knuckle down back to the boring diet.
I have premature muscle depletion so not worried about the muscle tone anymore. As long as I can do the things I think I can still do, I'm fine. I'm told I still have good strength for my age and excellent manipulation. My Dr believes it is down to my bloody mindedness, she is probably right. I tend to thrash my body most of the time as it allows me to forget my health issues while I'm working hard. As usual pay for it over the next few days, but that is me always pushing everything I can to the limits. Chatting on here is a help, it eases the situation a mite and restores my sanity, until next time.
Cheers
