What is the first line of defense when gastroparesis gets worse?

Hi, @helpmytummyguts. You are making such great strides towards getting your gastroperesis to settle down. You mention getting your heart happy with movement first. I do understand this is physical but it also makes me think of how you must emotionally prepare your heart. You go, girl!
What did you learn from meeting with your primary care doctor a couple days ago?

@jlharsh Wow! How empowering your word are! Thanks coach! I hope it's okay to call you coach because your are an excellent coach! 😃
Primary care is testing for pancreatic insufficiency, celiac, and something else, the name of which didn't make it to the memory bank. I believe it eas liver related. He has ordered a gastric emptying test to determine actual status of gastroperesis. Depending on those results I will be referred to a gastric specialist at Stanford. Apparently there needs to be an accurate gastroperisis status before a referal to a motility specialist will be approved. We are moving in the right direction. Praying big that the pancreas and liver are fine. I don't want to have to treat anything else; albeit I am deeply grateful for treatment options!
