Gastroparesis sometimes has a mind of its own. I was diagnosed with it back in 2017 along with several other conditions (duodenal stricture, ulcers, inflammation). The docs wanted to do a partial removal of my stomach and upper duodenum. Thank heavens I'm an RN and questioned it. I went to Mayo Clinic (Phoenix) and the team thought that surgery was a bit premature. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease for which I receive infusions of Entyvio every 8 weeks (which is no big deal). Today I feel good and function normally. The gastroparesis, strictures, and ulcers have disappeared. Thank heavens for up to date medicine! Just the same, I do eat slowly and chew well (which everyone would benefit from doing!) and have minimal problems.
