Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!
Digestive Health | Last Active: Nov 30, 2023 | Replies (437)Comment receiving replies
The emptying test I took did not indicate a problem, but the gastroenterologist said she did not diagnose by test; she treated the symptoms.
My symptoms then (several years ago) and still today (if I eat the wrong food) are nausea and vomiting.
At first I did not want to follow the food plan she gave me (What? I can’t eat salad? I LOVE salad!)
Only after I gave in fully to the food plan did I no longer experience the vomiting. I still occasionally experience nausea, but only briefly.

I had to learn what I could and couldn't eat over many years. for about 30 years I woke up with nausea and vomiting almost every day. I slept in a recliner because I couldn't lay down without reflux. I have learned what I can tolerate and what time of day I can chance it with some foods. mostly now I don't miss the old "favorites" but occasionally I will still indulge though I know I will pay the price. Sometimes just a mouthful of something to get the taste but then I spit it out without swallowing can end the craving.

This diagnosis is a new one for me. Have not been to a dietician yet, but I cannot see myself not eating salads or raw fruits or nuts. What is left?
