I have Gastroparesis and am not diabetic. Mine is rare.
Almost everyone who has this is diabetic. Don’t know how I was unlucky enough to have this monster of a condition!!

My GI nurse practitioner said that gastroparesis frequently has an unknown etiology in many patients. I too am not diabetic and was diagnosed 6 years ago. I am on Esomeprazole magnesium 40mg daily, follow a modified FODMAP diet, eat 5 small meals per day and try to exercise 3 days per week. I also have been diagnosed with a tortuous colon after my last colonoscopy and told to try and increase fiber intake… which is a little challenging with gastroparesis. Luckily I seem to be holding my own with these GI problems. I also keep CBD gummies on hand to help with occasional nausea. It’s taken me 10 years to find ways that keep these conditions under control. Luckily I have a great NP that listens and tries to help by suggesting ways to help. I wish you the best and hope things improve for you.

I'm not diabetic. Mine was caused by complications from surgery. Sometimes they just don't know the cause. Take care of yourself.
