Hi @nbens. Welcome to Mayo Connect and thanks for telling us about your loss of weight from gastroparesis -- weak muscular contractions of the stomach. As a result, food and liquid remain in the stomach too long rather than passing into the small intestine. This can result in irregular absorption of nutrients, inadequate nutrition, and poor glycemic control. I found an interesting speculation that weakened stomach muscles may be caused by neuropathy -- a nerve problem in the great Vegas Nerve that controls functions of large organs in the abdomen. That's one of a half-dozen possibilities that my medical team is going to study to deal with my digestive problems of the past six weeks. Perhaps my experience will suggest some questions for you to raise with your medical team. Martin
