Hello @darlenemeeder and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm glad that you found this patient support network. I'm so sorry to hear about your digestive problems. Not having had solid foods in over 3 months is certainly difficult. I'm assuming that you have lost a lot of weight.

We have many Members who deal with this diagnosis. I will invite them to post to you about their experiences, @rossjt, @ken82 and @fourof5zs.

I see that this was diagnosed in the ER. Have you seen a gastroenterologist since that diagnosis? If not, that would be a good next step. There might be meds and a diet plan that could help as well.

Thank you. Yes, I have seen my GI guy. He sent me for the Gastric emptying study. He didn't realize how bad I was. I found out what to do, diet wise, on the Mayo Clinic Website for Severe Gastroparesis. That is how I found this group. I have lost 34 pounds in 3 months.
