I am looking for fellow members dealing with this condition. Eating is very difficult with this and there are currently not many medications to help fight it. There is no cure yet, just eating small, low-fat foods frequently. If anyone has any tips on food or lifestyle changes that have helped them, I'd like to hear it. Also, if anyone has had a gastric pacemaker put in, I would like to hear your take on that as well. My Doctors here are pretty uninformed about Gastroparesis and want me to go to a motility hospital out of state. I would like to avoid this if possible. So if any of you have Gastroparesis or have knowledge regarding it, I would love to hear it. Feel free to message me if you feel your post will be too embarrassing to post.
Thanks Mage for throwing that link up there. I do want to inform as many people as I can about Gastroparesis. It really isn't plesent to have. I would like to exchange ideas with someone who has this disease and tried things other than diet changing, exercising and medications.
That's . . . horrible. I love eating, it sure puts things in perspective. Hopefully they come out with good medications or even a cure sometime soon, and it might be likely what with medical advances and all.
I don't know anything about it, but I hope you get better!
Sorry to be such a downer, I did not post here to complain. I was mearly looking for fellow people who have this to help each other. Maybe this wasn't meant for a forum. If anything a few people get the knowledge that this disease even exists. Joe96, I have already tried dietary changes such as eating smaller portions more often. (6 meals rather than 3),exercise after meals and all current medications available.
