I’ve had this for six years now. Officially diagnosed recently but the symptoms have been consistent this whole time. I’m just now learning proper diet changes and how to help with nausea. Nausea is the absolute worst symptom of this. I can’t do much now but I hope to have a normal life someday

@@hairstylistkjb Have they tried you on Mestinon yet to treat your gastroparesis? It's an older medication, but researchers have repurposed it as a new treatment option for gastroparesis and constipation, due to its beneficial effects on the vagus nerve and the muscles which help to push food through the digestive tract.

Idiopathic Gastroparesis woman here… that upper abdominal pain and distention are absolutely awful… I am one of those cases that can only tolerate puréed foods and liquids… I cannot keep weight on and am past the point of that lifestyle changes and medications ( used for gastroparesis ) being used because they have not helped… I am getting referred to a specialist in gastroparesis finally.. after an entire decade of this progressively getting worse and worse .

[@sleepyless6795]

I've been dealing with these symptoms for four years now, since I was thirteen. I used to eat mountains but now I'm scared of eating a pebble, the pain is as sharp as a blade and as furious as flames. I've never vomited, so I haven't been loosing weight, I was accually gaining weight up until this past November when my smell and taste was so warped I couldn't eat. I went from 190lbs to 168lbs within a month, but I believe I'm slowly gaining back. The nausea is absolutely unbearable and the heart burn and constipation is just dreadful. There are days were the pain is somewhat manageable, other days, I don't even want to wake up. I'm young, but I'm always tired, always sick feeling, always just miserable. I see a gastroenterologist tomorrow, I'm hoping I can get help.

I had the 4 hour emptying ex ray down to get diagnosed an couple upper GI's done. Waiting on my biopsy to come back. Praying for all of us. 🙏 ❤

[@rob4461]

Figured I’d share my experience of GP with everyone. I’m in my mid twenties, not diabetic, no known neuropathy. No previous history of gastric problems until late March a few months ago. I started noticing foods I had normally eaten with no issues started causing bloating, abdominal pain/discomfort etc. It was seemingly intermittent in early March. I had days with no perceived issues and then as the month progressed, it became daily acid reflux, daily loss of appetite, early satiety nausea etc. Not much in the vomiting however. But as time went on to June now, I was put on omeprazole for the reflux which helped tremendously. However, as a result, I wonder if my stomach acid is TOO low thereby hindering my digestion, slowing it down to a crawl. After all, I had been on 40 mg omeprazole for 8 weeks. Just recently cut that dose in half. But what has helped me so far is to eat small portions for meals. I try to eat 5-6 small meals that add up to around 1,500-1700 calories (I’m a 170 lb male). In addition, I’m getting a gastric emptying study done on Friday to see the severity of my gastroparesis- or to even rule it out. My dr is also putting me on mirtazipine because I struggle to sleep at night. I have abdominal pain/discomfort that can last for hours at night. Looking into gas x. Have seen good things about mirtazipine so hopefully that will help improve my symptoms considerably. But this condition is brutal. Your relationship with food changes, your daily outlook changes, your mental health can suffer. You feel as though you’re being punished for just trying to survive and get your body the nutrition it needs.

[@MedSurvival_Med_Mnemonics]

Gastroparesis should be suspected in patients with nausea, vomiting, early satiety, abdominal pain or bloating. We perform upper endoscopy followed if clinically indicated by computed tomography/magnetic resonance enterography to exclude mechanical obstruction or mucosal disease as a cause of impaired gastric emptying. Delayed gastric emptying on scintigraphy is required to establish the diagnosis of gastroparesis

Just a few minutes ago I had symptoms of upper stomach cramps. Trying to self diagnose, I ate some chewy candies (Snickers, Milky Way, etc..Halloween stuff), about 10 minutes before this happened. My abdomen area felt very congested and stiff, I could not breath normally.I thought I would have to get medical help. Thinking that the candies were stuck in the path going to the stomach, I drank some hot water and kept breathing deeply and moving my arms. Finally after finishing the cup of hot water, the congestion went away. Whew, I was glad. But now I am wondering if this is going to happen again. I had a medical checkup for my heart meds a couple of weeks ago, and it did not show a diabetic condition. Then I looked up this video that may be of help.

You didn't mention how it is found in people with Ehler's Danlos Syndrome a lot. That's what I have. For me, the motility is always slow but then it flares up. I know I'm about to have an attack (for want of a better word) when I begin to burp sulphuric smelling burps. Now when I say burp, these burps last for 10 seconds long. Then farts just as long. My whole stomach fills until it feels like it will split, with air and I have to keep releasing it. This goes on for hours and hours. Finally, I'll feel sick and I will throw up and have diarrhoea and the same thing comes out of my mouth as what comes out the other end. A rancid brown sludge of fermented rotten food. My body keeps expelling this for hours because the food that was sitting fermenting in stomach acid has become poison and the body needs to get it out. Then I'm afraid to eat for a day after and take it easy. Is anyone else's like this? The flares come and go but the slow motility is always an issue.

I had gastroparesis from untreated hypothyroidism. Full after 1 to 2 bites. Full all day. Very bloated after eating. Went away with thyroxine. Of interest my TSH was in "normal" range but it wasn't my normal. I have no doubt some idiopathic cases are undiagnosed hypothyroidism.

[@ScarlettDuchess]

@thespiritbomb Yes I had hypothyroid symptoms. I was so convinced it was thyroid related I requested all the thyroid labs including both thyroid antibodies (thyroid peroxide antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies). Both thyroid antibodies were high showing I had Hashimoto's thyroiditis (an autoimmune disease that is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in developed countries)

Can the stomach ache from this condition be relieved from making yourself vomit & emptying the contents of the stomach? I have gallbladder stones & chronic kidney disease but i don't think its the main cause as the pain is around my belly button. Flares ups often come after eating certain foods, caffeine, spices, chocolate, onions, alcohol, etc, causing acid build up. I find undigested food in my vomit long after i had eaten.

I think I had it once temporarily when I was traveling with family. On the way back on a bus I was starting to feel nauseous, and suspected that it was car sickness (even though I've never experienced it beforehand). I didn't think much of it because it was bearable and drank some iced tea. I got full really quickly so I stopped drinking it. A few hours later I still felt that the drink was still in my stomach somehow. Even worse, I had to sit through this an entire night trying to force myself to sleep in discomfort. It was still in me next morning. And once the bus came to our destination I tried to get up, but once I moved I immediately felt like I needed to vomit. So I grabbed the bag nearest to me and let some of it out. I started to drool out a lot of sour saliva rapidly still feeling some of the sickening drink in me. So I went to the back of the bus with the bag still drooling a lot. My vomit clearly looked yellow like the iced tea I drank with nothing else mixed in somehow (as I remember it, I'm not sure if there was anything else in it). But even after all of that I didn't feel hungry at all. I actually felt so full to the point that if I ate a single bite of food the whole process would happen again. So I didn't feel like eating for many days. But I felt like I was getting weaker so I gave in to eating some food even though I didn't feel like it a day and a half later. My family were concerned but felt like it was car sickness or food poisoning; but I don't think that would make a drink stay sergeant in my stomach overnight sitting in a bus of all things. Plus I had really bad dihheria for more than a week with some nausea on the side. It was not a fun vacation I tell you. But thankfully those nightmarish symptoms got away after a while and returned to my daily life. But I realized that I get full more easily than before the incident happened, but didn't feel nauseous or sour drool coming out of my mouth so I didn't think much of it. But now I'm starting to feel discomfort after eating almost a year later. I told one of my parents, but thought it's just food poisoning again, but I suspect it's this. I want to get tested but I don't think my parents will let me because medical care where I live is really expensive so I don't know what to do.

I had a microdisectomy in my spine 2 years ago as I had very bad sciatic nerve pain could this be a cause of gastroperises

[@MikeTXBC]

I'm fairly certain the cause of my gastroparesis is having to be on proton pump inhibitors. The reason I think this is because when I wasn't on them, I could digest food normally, and this isn't the first time I've needed to take PPIs. Years ago I had to and the same problem occurred, then when I stopped them, it cleared up. Now I'm on them again and gastroparesis returned. Unfortunately, I need to be on PPIs due to GERD and erosive gastritis. Both of those can cause far more damage if left uncontrolled, so I need to put up with my stomach not emptying efficiently.

[@dudoklasovity2093]

I’ve had this for 4 years now, but didn’t know what it was. For me the worst is stomachaches, belching,headaches and tiredness. Because the food is not digested fast enough, it proceeds to small and large intestines where it ferments, causing vad dysbiosis (symptom gas). The overgrowth of bad bacteria destroys the colon lining mucous and I got leaky gut, food particles get into bloodstream which causes immune response amd inflammation. This caused histamine release and intolerance with bad headches and sleep disturbances. One thing led to another. With dietary changes I feel so much better now I can even exercise again.

I have suffered gastroprasis this in march 2021 it takes 6 months to go without any med and now its all fine and haven't came back

[@JuanitaClarkGarcia]

Did you stop all medication on your own, or did a dr suggest it. I wondered if that would help

[@champion3957]

[@melaninoverdose]

@@champion3957 The following blended mixture currently works wonders for my gastroparesis. • 500-600ml water • 3-4 table spoons raw/organic Baobab powder • 350-400ml raw/organic Aloe Vera juice • 1 -2 teaspoons raw/organic Aloe Vera powder • 1 teaspoon raw/organic moringa powder( please feel free to leave that out as it doesn’t reek and tends to make most people sick Good luck ❤️

So did you got fully cured from it? please tell me how?

[@Peacebwyou9295]

Is it possible to have done the gastric stomach emptying test & passed it but still have gastroparesis? I’m diabetic for 5 years now & had the test done last year. My symptoms have suddenly worsened over the past 3 months. I have crohns too with a small section of my intestines that’s scarred so I have a partial blockage but tests show not much inflammation. I’m so confused. Constant bloating, gas, small bowel movements even though I take mirlax & drink lots of water. Any kind of meat or full meals makes me miserable. I’m also nauseas easily especially if I smell food cooking or even a cake baking in the oven. The severe bloating is the worse !!! I’m so depressed and can’t go in public with the severe gas ! Diabetes is the devil!!!

I've been suffering from extreme pain in my abdominals which feels like I'm completely wounded and also proceeds to my back, nausea, gagging, heartburn, acid reflux, painful and tender to touch abdominals and other things for over 2 years now, I have type 1 diabetes and I've had so so so many appointments about this and so many diabetic doctors have said to me they think its gastroperisis, I had an endoscopy last year which they found undigested food even though I had to fast for it, the other day I ended up being woken up from the agonising pain it was the worst it has ever been it felt like my stomach was going to explode and I was crying for hours I ended up going to hospital into A+E and I ended up puking up tons there which was all undigested food even though I hadn't eaten for over 12 hours only to be sent home telling me they couldn't treat me even though I told them I was in alot of pain still after they kept me in the waiting room for hours and they knew I had been sick with undigested food, it's been 4 days and I've already lost alot of weight I'm sick of the waiting for answer now I feel hopeless

I'm so sorry you have to go through this, I will offer what little advice I can that I know won't bring harm to you, and may benifit you as well, first Tommy Chongs CBD oil, that stuff is the most potent CBD on the market and theres a lifetime guarantee so you can buy a bulk pack and if nothing happens you can ask for all your money back, CBD communicates with your bodies genes and teaches them how to bring the body back into balance, it should greatly reduce nausea, pain, and stress, and if you pair it with certain foods and enzyme's it should really help you, for example, you can buy digestive enzymes, and instead of fasting which isn't doing you any favors in this situation, you should drink as many different types of liquids as possible, and pair it with the digestive enzymes, things you should drink are juiced vegetables, and certain fruits and berries, organic plant protein like orgain that you can get on Amazon, almond milk, coconut milk, coffee with melted coconut oil is very stimulating and will reduce hunger and give you energy not just from the caffeine but from the MCT of coconut oil. I highly recommend pineapple juice, its so powerful you can use it to tenderize meat in a few hours, a little more and you'll have meat soup. The goal is to maintain a healthy nutrient intake, reduce solid food buildup in the intestines, and give the body a chance to completely purge all the gunk from your intestines. It's very important that you try and do light excersise everyday, and it's very important to take digestive enzymes and acids everyday to improve the stomachs ability to digest and respond correctly when it's time to empty. Without this everything will be useless, if you are taking acid blockers reduce or eliminate then completely, if you eat before bed, stop, if you don't brush your teeth every night you're making a huge mistake by allowing that bacteria that accumulates in your mouth to enter your digestive tract. Last but most certainly not least, bacteria, probiotics, the promoting of life, you need to purchase quality probiotics to help repopulate your intestines with healthy bacteria, this is crucial, an overgrowth of bad bacteria is very likely in your case, but you can easily prevent this with a high cfu preferably of 50 billion, probiotic, that has multiple strains of beneficial bacteria, I think, all of this combined in the right order will improve your life tremendously. I truly hope this inspires you to research or out right try what I have presented. Good luck.

@@mariataveras9803 wow thankyou so so much for this advice I appreciate it so much! I recently purchased some digestive enzyme tablets and I feel like they are making things alot easier! I will definitely try out all of your advice I appreciate all the time and effort you took into this, thankyou so so much!! :)

[@Savannahlynn]

i felt this exact way! im so sorry you have to go through this. I had the same agonising pain and throwing up undigested food, its the most painful experience.I tried talking to my doctor about all my symptoms and he dismissed it for months until i finally went to see a gastroenterologist and was finally diagnosed. Sadly there is not enough research on this. I still struggle with chronic nausea,abdominal pain, acid reflux,etc. But i havent thrown up in about a month or more .so there is some hope that it gets a little better and youre not alone!

[@houbert]

Katrina how are you feeling now? Do you have another way I can contact you to ask you questions? I've had almost the exact same symptoms as you for months now and reading your comment sounded like I wrote it myself. Would appreciate if you could reply and have a conversation with me! Thank you! Hope you are feeling better

[@katrinasnow7548]

@@Savannahlynn thankyou so much! I'm sorry you have to go through this too :( finally I'm waiting for a gastric emptying test now so hopefully I'll get some answers soon! I hope eventually all your symptoms will get a bit better for you and it's great you havent thrown up in a while I hope it stays like that for you!

Anyone have weird abdominal sensation? Hard to describe but it can be a dry, cold, or nerve sensation. It’s not constant but comes and goes quickly through the day

[@thecatonacouch9371]

I just have a dull achy feeling and I hear something moving

[@emilyodom2700]

Hard dry rocks in my stomach

[@founderhistory2375]

My intestines sometimes jumps for a little is this normal?

[@ginapfeiffer5395]

I was just diagnosed with this. Mine is idiopathic though.

[@matthewoleary02]

So I have this after having surgery. The main symptom I have is vomiting, how can I treat this?

[@lauriejordan2716]

I’m confused. I had to come back the next day and the day after that when I had my radio active tracer. If it only took 2 to 4 hours. Why did I have to keep going back for imaging?

[@MelanieMaeRose]

Can eating disorders cause it? I didn’t have this before my bulimia started.

[@DudeWivAutism]

Believe so, same here
