Have you had an endoscopy or colonoscopy lately with an gastroenterologist? That’s where I would start. After my endoscopy (that I asked for) I still had food in my stomach and I had fasted over 20 hrs…. I had a gastric emptying test that lasted 4 hrs that confirmed I had gastroparesis. I had probably had it for years… Lots of bloating & pain after eating only small amounts….. Maybe this might not be your problem, but you need to start somewhere. .Prayers For Comfort and Solutions…..

Yes, I have had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, 3 CT scans 1 with contrast 2 without, bloodwork, UA, MRI, etc. all are negative. And stomach emptying test.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have had every test known to the GI community I have seen two different GI’s. Everything comes up negative! I am at a complete loss.

Yes, I have had a gastric emptying test. Everything was fine. So frustrating!!
