Small fiber neuropathy?

Hi @rivermaya34, I haven't been diagnosed with Gastroparesis but do have some of the symptoms - constipation which seemed to get worse following a painful colonoscopy 3 or 4 years ago and bi-lateral inguinal hernia surgery a couple of years ago. I don't have the pain but sometimes cramping and some gas. I use some teas I found on Heather's Tummy Care site along with her fiber that have helped some. There is also some treatment information that you may find interesting if not helpful - https://www.helpforibs.com/footer/treatments.asp.

I had my annual checkup in January and told my PCP I would schedule a colonoscopy in April but I'm in the process of re-thinking whether I really want to go through it again at 82.

@johnbishop Ouchie!! 🙁 That sounds very painful and unpleasant...so sorry to hear this, friend. I had one of those done 1.5 yrs ago also and, looking back, glad that I did, but don't enjoy the thought of having to go every 5 years. I don't blame you for reconsidering that decision, seriously. Ooh I love tea! Thanks for the info - I'll have to check those out!
