Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!

Wow - You sound just like me!! Have you had your stomach checked to see if it is emptying properly? Also noticed the ears - I never mentioned that but my ears ring almost constantly - worst if I am having a bad episode. I am going to a University Doctor tomorrow for the GI - gastroparesis. But I still want to find out what the underlying cause might be and hopefully treat that. My job (postmaster) is very stressful and that has been mentioned before. I know it has been said how much stress can play in a person health. Could all come down to that. Since January I have lost 30 pounds - could have stood to loose 20 - but now I am just scared that I will continue to loose. I would love to be normal again also.

After undergoing hiatal hernia surgery, I lost 10 pounds and had extensive diagnostic testing to determine my problem. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis without a stomach emptying test and prescribed Creon enzymes, off-label. I have gained weight, but my A1C has risen, probably because the gastroparesis diet includes white bread, white rice, a little fiber, and limited amounts of raw fruits and vegetables. My gastroenterologist offers no options.
