I have many of the same symptoms others have had with stomach pain, burning, stinging, shooting pain. Pain under upper ribs. Pain in the rib area. Pain between ribs belly button area. Stinging Pain on mid Abdominal both sides. Feels really sore and burning pain over entire area. I can feel. Feel uncomfortable for hours and half after eat. Just eat few spoonfuls at time. Havent been able to eat real meals for quite awile. Food not digestig
well. Yes I am very concerned about side effects of meds. Very concerned bc of side effects or body getting use to meds. Or concerned meds are letting bacteria overgrowth. My thoughts are long term how good is it to be on meds that coat stomach, relax bowel, and lower stomach acid. Definitely a delicate balance and trying to find that kind-of info is challenging. Definitely hope to find root cause. Heating pad is my go to. However seems like many ppl go years without finding the root cause. Best wishes to you as you move through this journey also.
I have been very happy with Dr Picco for the past 4 years. He is very thorough, explains everything and even took the time to ask my husband his opinion on my treatment plan. Dr Starke has also performed a couple of my endoscopies and also explains the results well after the exam and answers all my questions. I never feel rushed.

Thank you @nikkiq123. Where are these docs located? That is very impressive the doc asked your husband's opinion. Having a doc to explain your test results is also impressive. Best
Wishes on your journey as well!
Agreed - gastroparesis has put a lid on my life. It's been more impact full (read "terrible") than having heart failure- and I watched my mom and little brother die from that.
It's amazing how little support there is for those dealing with gastroparesis. Not even the GI clinic can answer questions.
For me, gastroparesis has been debilitating, constantly painful (though not where they expect it to be, so the GI literally said she doesn't know....).
Anyway, I agree. I hope you have something else. GP land is very, very lonely.

3 ReactionsCheck out support groups on FB. There are thousands suffering who understand. God bless you 🙏
If I restart Facebook, I may. I had to quit it when I found that it was sucking me I to its negative drama vortex! I miss the support groups, though.
