Thank you for your response. is your GP as a result of diabetes? was it diagnosed with a gastric emptying study?

i pretty much have figured out what foods to eat and not to eat by trial and error - i asked my GI doc for a dietician referral when i was first diagnosed - he couldn't even give me that - just a "regular dietician" who knows very little about this 'not so common" illness. i subsequently have found lists of what to eat and what not to eat online and pretty much it is what i figured out by trial and error. i do seem to get "flares" though - which last several days where i literally can only take liquids and maybe thin pureed soup or shakes - but no solids. The biggest problem i have is sleeping at night - the food just "sits" and makes acid. for months now i stop eating at 2 p.m. and go to bed 9-10 p.m. so the food has 8 hours to "go down" but still some nights i have problems getting comfortable with a lot of "pressure/aching/gas/acid" etc. i haven't eaten "dinner" per se in over a year - just tea and maybe a very small amount of frozen yogurt or a popsicle... it sometimes feels thing are getting worse and more restrictive and i was just interested to see if other people had the same experience. No-one has mentioned having problems sleeping at night - which is actually my main issue (even if i manage what and when i eat during the day)
