Hello @sophiageld and welcome to the Digestive Health support group on Mayo Connect. So many can empathize with the feeling that our digestive system is sluggish and moves way too slow for our comfort level. Mine seems to be caused by several surgeries of the upper digestive tract. I've found that a low residue diet has worked well for me.

As this is your first post on Connect, I look forward to getting to know you better. Please share, as you are comfortable doing so, what your doctors believe may attribute to your sluggish digestive tract. For example, have you had surgeries, do you have a disorder like diabetes or a neurological disorder such as MS or PD? What medications or lifestyle changes have been suggested to you to help with this problem?

I have gastroparesis also. I had surgery for hiatal hernia and the surgeon injured my vagus nerve. My entire life has changed for the worse.
