@katmandu, hi! No dr has ever mentioned it to me. Is it reverseable? Besides it making me sick, you know what i hate most of all? My bloated, distended belly. And if i dont eat it doesnt get so bloated. Its always going to be big i guess but the first part of me to enter the room is my stomach. It is so depressing to see all the cute clothes i could be wearing if it wasnt for my stomach. I want to cry, but i cant. I feel like i dont have any tears left. And i can forget about men. Sorry to turn morbid.

My dog is trying to get my attention by being naughty. Hes so cute, my littlest angel.
Thank you so much for responding. I will try some of the things you suggested. Feel free to write any time. I enjoy talking to people.
Love to you, Judy

I have had Gastroparesis for over 5 yrs now.. I am male ..82 yrs old.. slender ... but I don't have a protruding belly .. I am 5-10" and weigh 172.... even though I eat ice cream, trail mix, bananas, tomatoes, even carefully eating celery with peanut butter... for the bloating I take a couple or three papaya enzyme pills after eating... having some in the car as well as at home...It's not every meal that bloats me ...but the papaya pills relieve the pain in about 15 minutes.. I also take Gas-
x sometimes.. I look forward to drinking coffee.. 2 cups a day.. in the morning... I don't do much alcohol .. never beer... It is amazing how little we really need to eat to maintain our bodies.. I find adding honey, dried fruit, blueberries to oatmeal gives me a good start with an egg a couple times a week... I used to eat yogurt all the time but Gastroparesis for some reason has made that not tolerable anymore... Good Luck .. live life.. your brain is more important than your stomach to good guys... People who do not have Gastroparesis never will understand the constant battle .. every meal is a challenge... so good luck... walk your dog.. Ken
