Gastroparesis and other problems.?
Help somebody. I have recently been diagnosis with a bunch of problems. I was first diagnosis with a ulcer in my sigmoid colon, and colitis. Now I have a hiatal hernia, esophagitis, gastritis, and gastroparesis. And the gastroparesis is the worst I have ever heard anyone having. Your stomach is supposed to empty within 1-2 hours well mine takes 11 to 12 hours. I can’t handle it I am always nauseas I eat and I am nauseas for 3-6 hours after. And I want to vomit only if I could. I have made myself vomit before because of the pain. I have only done that once, but because of the pain I am afraid I will become bulimic. And I don’t want that either. They tell me not to eat fiber because it’s harder to digest, but I have really bad constipation. (You don’t even understand they gave me the 4 laxatives and the drink for a colonoscopy and did nothing pretty much) without fiber I can’t go the bathroom, but with fiber my stomach hurts. On top of it I have chest pain once and awhile with the gastroparesis. I bend over after I eat and I can feel my food coming back up. I swear i can feel my bowels move in my transverse colon. I have muscle spasms in my back and neck. I twitch during the night really bad. I wake up with back pain so bad it’s not even funny. My anxiety level and anger is very high. I start shaking because of it. I am afraid to take the medicine for gastroparesis because of the side effects that can happen I know they don’t happen to everyone but trust me when I say I have bad luck so I WILL have the side effects that are permanent. I don’t like a lot of the foods on the gastroparesis diet. I am only 23 and have 3 kids and go to college full-time so my stress is way up there. They say that’s what is causing this. Please someone have any advice or a good site to go to for gastroparesis diet. I can’t take all these problems. And I can’t interact with my kids because I am in pain. My back hurts, my stomach is killing me, and I am very irritated!
They have checked my thyroid and nothing. I am not diabetic, they check. I am on Zegrid and that’s about it, I don’t know why they can’t give me more medications to help with all of this.

Dearest friend,
I’m hearing you. I have GP too, and Celiac, and abdominal adhesions from 5 surgeries, and an overgrowth of candida that about killed me.
Most doctors mean well but end up telling us to do things that are opposite of what helps! Without going into it all here, here’s what I recommend you do tonight: 1. Order Elaine Gotschall’s book called Breaking the Vicious Cycle, at Amazon. 2. Go to Yahoo Groups and enter the group name "BTVC-SCD," and join the group. There’s a moderator on there named Kim M. who also has GP and she has helped me a lot! Honey, I know you can make it. I am proof. send me an email if you’d like: scdcathy@yahoo.com
