Thank you @astaingegerdm ,@thull, @ken82! Her bowel movement at the worst was 4 days no movement. Her fullness doesn't seem to go away, initially at the onset it was there occasionally, now always there even when she had no food to take for a few days, is this usual? When she was preparing for endoscopy, they cleaned up her bowel, she said she still feels full, I was puzzled. She said this fullness doesn't feel the same as an eating a full meal full. Were you feeling this way? I have not seen any progress on her eating since we started the eating disorder program, thus not encouraged.
With the food emtying tests and all other tests, how many days would you need to stay at Mayo? If we have some tests done already here, do we need to repeat them at Mayo?
Thank you for your help!

Hello @needhelpparent,
I’d like to offer some information about tests and gastroparesis and other intestinal disorders care at Mayo Clinic.
Mayo Clinic has doctors who specialize in disorders involving the movement of food through the digestive system (motility disorders). Tests for gastroparesis involve the entire digestive tract, and some of the newest technology was developed at Mayo Clinic.

If you’d like to make an appointment at Mayo Clinic, please call one of our appointment offices – you can also request an appointment online. The contact information for all 3 Mayo Clinic locations (Minnesota, Arizona, Florida) can be found here:
http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
The Clinic’s representatives/schedulers will ask questions to help direct you to the best specialist, either at Mayo or closer to home.
In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral, although some insurers require referrals, or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
Please let me know if you need more information; you’ve come to the right place to talk with people who’ve had similar experiences, and to get support from members who understand what you are going through. I wish you and your daughter the best of luck.

Mayo MN uses Epic Medical Records system.. perhaps if your clinic uses the same you would not have to transport those other test results. But these days you can get your records in a CD ..ask , some newer equip makes for more accurate results... good luck
