I've been struggling with stomach issues for almost 2 years now. Seemed to have happen basically overnight. My ascending colon isn't emptying correctly as shown on xrays but am still not officially diagnosed with anything because they keep scheduling all my tests 2-4 months apart. Idk how they can let people endure this type of pain for this long without any treatment. I've just been told to reduce meat consumption and increase fiber, and take stool softeners as needed. I've been vegetarian for 2+ months now (plenty of fiber) and I took Miralax everyday for an entire month (sometimes doubling the dose) without any noticeable changes. Aside from just the stomach and bowel movement issues, my body feels jacked up constantly (low back, hips, joints hurt) and my mental health has been suffering. My quality of life has tanked compared to the activities I used to do (long backpacking trips and kayaking). The stomach controls so much of the body's overall health, I wish they could resolve it so I could stop feeling worthless, unable, and unstable. I have endure worse pain, however, not a level of pain and discomfort so consistently over 400+ days, that's enough to drive about anyone insane... Good luck to anyone going through this, and may luck and swiftness find you more immediately than it has me.

this is one of the worst illnesses i have experienced. I litrally thought i’m going to die. Stomach pain is one of the worst pains a human body can endure

I havent consulted doctor yet but the symptoms do match. I'm under weight, always nauseous can't even eat one chapati properly. Even if I do, I puke. Always feels like vomiting. Dehydrated most of the time. I don't remember when was the last time I ate properly. This really sucks. People say don't lie down after eating, but if I walk after eating I'll vomit straightaway. I don't feel good,don't feel active, always lying on bed. 😭

I hope I don't have this. Had a meal yesterday at 5pm, got full very quickly. At 3am I was still feeling very full and was close to vomiting. Now, at 1030am, I still feel like I have food in my stomach, though no longer feel sick. Already called the doctor and will be doing tests. They said it could be a bacterial infection that can be cured, so I'm hoping it's that. I feel for anyone suffering with this.

It find it interesting that you look up causes of GP Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is never mentioned. But look up EDS and you see it is a very common comorbidity.

I have been suffering from it the you can't cure it but excersise and long walks can help a lot, whenever I stop excersing for days or a week it happens.

Struggled with this for over a decade. Pain and discomfort are a part of my life. Im typing this from a bathroom floor vomiting

Neurofeedback and biofeedback might be able to help if damage to the autonomic nervous system is in the brain, which is usually what happens. I would also recommend the Comra laser therapy to heal any tissue or nerve damage.

Best about gastroparesis

Seeing this video is like seeing my life in front of me. I have gastroparesis and 2 years ago. I kept eating and vomitting. Lost 3 and a half stones in 7 months. I did the things you say like eating small portions and avoiding some foods all by myself. No doctor explained this to me. I am hindered by the language living abroad. So thank you for this video which gave me answers. Now I will go challenge doctors and get some help..

These cartoon slides are very very educational on the condition. Thank you!

Thanks

I have nausea for 1 year before all these symptoms started currently working with GI specialist haven’t been able to diagnose me yet. This maybe it. I had bad acid reflux since August 2022 to today November 2022 2-3times a week vomit now down to 1 a week

I had symptoms before the undigested food and vomiting. GERD was an everyday thing for me since I was 19 (46 now). So was extreme stomach cramps that happened occasionally. I had bad vomiting from the GERD because I would actually inhale acid, i digested just fine. Didn’t become lactose intolerant til about 2013 after I had a 12lb tumor removed and an extreme hysterectomy. Found out I had a hiatal hernia while in hospital (was told it wasn’t bad enough to cause my paresis but the tumor and hernia were the only things that made sense). That was around the time of the diarrhea, started taking lactaid or drinking almond milk, helped some but was still there for about a year. Then turned to IBS. Cramps started getting worse where tummy would cramp at LEAST once a day and so severe my mouth would water or make me vomit. Then about 2 yrs ago I started to throw up any type of vegetable or fruit, completely undigested and sometimes it would be days after I ate it. So stopped eating them til I could get to a gastroenterologist, he also sent me to a gastrointestinal surgeon who did an emptying test. After 4hrs I still had 40% in my stomach. BAD gastroparesis though they don’t know how I got it. Actually became diabetic AFTER because of the food I could digest which was mostly carbs. Also became EXTREMELY anemic, needed 3 bags of blood and a night in the hospital. Now my doc is trying to get my insurance to approve Zenpep for me which in an enzyme that helps you digest with the hopes of eating fruits and veggies again.

Idk what to do to help it I feel like I'm going to die

I was diagnosed with which probably resulted from elevated blood sugars for an extended period of time (A1C is currently 5.7-5.9) last year. My symptoms so far are upper backpain, chest pain, heartburn, and a whole bunch of bloating. I had contracted h pylori last year and had covid and also had damage from elevated blood sugar so who the hell knows what exactly caused it. It really fucking sucks.

I get full just seeing the food, nausea, vomiting bloaded, dehydrated I don't have energy all the time I don't eat properly I need help

What happens in Vagus stays in vagus

Gastroparesis it in my body more year about 7 year, I Resist difillcule and not solution for me

I wonder if this is what I have but I’m not sure, the comments kinda reassure me that this isn’t what I have bc they seem more intense than what I deal with. Current diagnosis of IBS, on a high dose of Linzess I am constipated for multiple days and then have diarrhea with intense nausea and for a while I have not being able to eat as much as I used to. I’ve lost some weight, I was unable to fit into a dress I got 5 months ago that fit very tightly. I used to be a BIG eater, now It doesn’t take much for me to feel full and nauseous. Before I started the Linzess I was extremely constipated, I took a powerful laxative and ended up vomiting 6 times with intense stomach pain in between each bout of vomiting. Haven’t had that since changing my diet and getting medicated

Also what's best test to diagnose this

Can this condition be confused with food poisoning? I haven't been okay for two days now. All I noticed quite some times my digestion was slow and I keep on my normal meals but cut down in quantity. And I'm also lactose intolerant. The day before all started, I had some porridge with milk and later bread with cup of milk. The next day, I found myself pooping and vomiting until I was all empty. I felt better. But when I hate some pasta, everything came out, undigested. To sleep today, my stomach had to be empty again. I can drink water and I only had a biscuit in 14hours. I'm fine so far. I can experience stomach pain here and there but i can manage. Any suggestion other then hospital?

Other condition dysautonomia.

Azithromycin is the closest thing to a cure at the moment. After a few days of using it your symptoms would pretty much disappear and your tummy would feel new again.

Why does it get bad all of a sudden it’s to the point. I’m almost close to having a feeding tube. I’ve had it over 10 years. Why or what makes it worse.

Hi i have just had fundplication surgery for a giant hiatal hernia. Can this cause Gastroperesis?? As my doctor cannot diagnose me and i seem to have all the symtons of it. I have been out hospital 8 weeks now but symptons started 2 weeks ago. I feel depressed and fed up with it .😢. Any advice would be helpful please. Thanks

I swear I have this dude the doctor said he can't find anything wrong with me but Im always sick. I take Gabapentin for my back which is a nerve pill would those cause this

I’m losing my mind over this. This is pretty much one of the things the doctor told me I could have, and I got tested for diabetes today and won’t know the results until Monday. I’m only 23, I hope this isn’t the case

Does the endoscopy show severe gastroprasis.. but the GES can show moderate and severe?

HEY I NEED HELP , HELP ME so on 4 Nov someone I know drank "battery water'' accidentally ..n almost died , n now she is fine mane I shouldnt say fine , any ways so the doc told her to get a drip every week to help with maybe stomach pain n vomit n for energy , aside from that she isn't able to eat much she was told to eat mashed food n ice creams basically cold Iteams as the acid in battery water has damaged her inner stomach n throat so to cool it off they told to eat cold things she did now its been more than a month she can't digest well n keep on throwing up after she eats anything , She drink a lot , like drinks tea , juice n milk to help her n at least have something in stomach , I help her a lot in eating like I do some massage on her stomach to help with pain n digest sometimes it works other it doesn't , what to do now ?

I think a good cure buts inhumane is open the stomach and make the entrance and the exit of the stomach larger via surgery

I have it its ruined my life id sooner be dead

Still don't have a diagnosis for my issues. I lost 100 pounds in 8 months. I stay between 130 and 140 now depending on how good the month is. Lost my insurance and have been dealing with it for around 5 years now. Finally just come to terms with this is just life now.

I have been having problems since 2014 since then it has been all downhill I can only poop now if I take ducolax laxative or drink a tea called smooth ease, my gastro doctor won't help he gave me a colonostopy and that's it .

I seriously hope I don't have this.. Have drank lot of alcohol and 2 of these symptoms match im seriously scared

is it good if you vomit?

I do everything in the treatment part of this video and it doesn't work.

This condition has ruined the majority of my life the last 4 years… for me its like i get massive amounts of air stuck with eating my one meal a day. The only thing i can do, is to go for a long walk, and get those air pockets out. Its abolutely insane. Vomitting out in the streets, in bushes and down the sewerdrains, while trying to burp out the captured air, so i can feel abit better, and not like i want to kill everyone out of irritation and anger. Only solution is excercise and strict diet. I am so thin, with very low fat percentage. All day i am fighting… have to get enough nutrients, without beeing to full, and having to keep all my muscles active for not loosing the little i have.. its soooo frustrating, and in the worst times it makes me hate everything about life, death, God, creation, universe, existence.. i abolutely resent every part of this exsperience of beeing alive, when its the worst (after a meal). I lost all my social life. Havent seen friends in years, since i have to tend to fighting this 24/7 … it is slowly getting better, and that is the only thing that keep me staying in it. If you read this and are in the same exsperience, its like this…. Your nerves /veins are blocked by gas/inflammation/whatever.. its like a puzzle, you have to solve, one piece a time.. you might have lived life with to much unhealthyness, and suddenly you where in this mess.. ultimately i think it will kill you, if you dont fight it. Fight it means, giving up on all the things, like coffee, sugar, grains, alcohol etc.. use a foodprocessor for the food, to make everything chopped in as small pieces as possible, to make digestion easy, get supplements, eat once a day, drink sodium, stay hydrated, protein powder, fats… a multivitamin, b12, d vitamn.. oliveoil/coconut oil… possible make bonebroth from a good source, organize the kitchen, have a stock, …. Get a white board.. put everything in scheduel, concerning workout routines… see it like this.. the nervers that are blocked, may only be cleaned, after alot of other nerves that lead to them are cleaned first. That means, its not just about finding one golden excercise, or go running, thinking circulation will do enough.. you might want to think of you having to reclaim your entire body from beeing blocked( or whatever many % in your case), and so you want to do as much different exercises, for all the muscles groups as possible.. not just crunches for the abs, also side crunches, and lower stomach crunches, and twists, and legraises.. while breathing heavy into your nerves and mucles, to put oxygen into your system, its the oxygen and burning sensation that will cause new blood to flow into that local area, and clean those nerves, arteries, lymphs, muscles, tissue etc. Do alot of isometric breathing exercises (holding tension and breathing for as long as you can withstand). I have been forced to build my entire apartment to a full homegym, going on 5th year now, living with alot of exercise equipment, spending all the money i have on the next piece of equipment, just to have the oppertunity to do that next key exercise, when i need to, from my home. Combine this with good sleep, and consistency, and micro ajustments all the time, everyday, to make thing better and better, is the way to fight it.. i know that not all will have such an exstreme case to deal with.. perhaps…but atleast i can say that ive had tremendous improvement overall. i dont have acid reflux anymore for instance and alot of pains have gone away.. i have a somewhat calculation, that i am currently regaining about 2 % improvements per month, if i started from 0, and 100 is healed ( i think i am about 70 % healed).. I hope my hard earned experience may relief you in this hard condition. I dont think you can rely on a diagnosis, or some prescribtion, because it its a health issue from start, that happened because of to much bad habbit, and to little good habbit, its about responsability and action. That is my very hard earned truth. I think Its a VERY VERY hard fight to battle, but perhaps not for everyone, because we are as individuals differently wired, and some may find that they get back to normal, with minimum ajustments.. So, my story is, i guess, in the hardcore end of the spectrum, and has been an totally exstreme battle (still is), and something that requires so much energi, when you at the same time, have very limited energi output because of a “small stomach”. atlast i will say, that if you cant go to toilet, because its to hard, and wont come out, i would highly recommend getting an ennema kit, and start using one, every 3 days. After you initially have removed the block, with maybe 2-3 flushes in a row for getting it cleaned. I would have been dead if not exstremely sick, if i not have had that. I would say good luck, but luck has nothing to do with with it. regaining life in this situation requires a warrior mindset. Stay strong and diciplined. And stay off unhealthy food.

Not worried about death but need to know if can be cured or not

im in my late teens, im a little concerned because i have that full stomach feeling, im scared to eat more food, i just don't know, i don't want to be a pessimist, but help me God. Most likely people who are commenting on this are a little scared like me, and are ready to change their eating habits.

What causes gastroparesis?

I only bloat and get full after very few bites. I could be hungry and eat like a bite of a apple and be full. Idk what my problem is

had appendix before and I am eating takis and my tummy is rumbling

I range anywhere between 1 to 2 1/2 months without using the bathroom. It’s utterly agonizing.

I think i have this. My stomach isnt emptying at all, even with water. I literally have puked 3 times today. Pause this and puked again. Literally cant even keep down water. If my stomach doesnt let me drink water ill have to go to urgent care tomorrow.

Well this sucks

😓

I'll jump in a grinder before i give up cigarettes and alcohol

I hope that I didn't eat that 1 fried chicken leg.

im pretty sure i have this and im only 15
