Thanks Grannydee!
I am on a Creon assistance program for the EPI. And I think my former RNY bypass may be the reason I do not vomit from gastroparesis, even though I have a severe case. I have consulted with a registered dietician. The recommended diets for the two diseases are very different, so she has been very helpful as far as navigating that. I just can’t figure out how I came down with them both!

EPI has so many different symptoms…
I have never had the gastroparesis symptoms but each person that has it can be very different.
The weight loss is the most common symptom in my opinion. Hopefully someone here can help. Don’t give up!
It’s a frustrating disorder, but I would encourage you to see a registered dietician that is familiar with EPI. Many insurance companies will cover a RD consult if your Gastro Dr prescribes it!
You CAN get better!
