WHAT’S EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME?
The Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a group of more than 13 genetic connective tissue disorders that affect the joints and ligaments, blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, and autonomic nervous system, among others. The most common type of EDS is hypermobile EDS (hEDS), which used to be known at type III. Some of the most common symptoms and co-morbidities of hEDS include chronic joint pain, joint instability and dislocations, dysautonomia, and GI tract dysmotility.

I had a gastroenterologist tell me that because I hadn’t lost more than 10 lbs that I couldn’t be having the symptoms I was, then I finally got to 10+ lbs weight loss and he still was like well you just need to find the right foods and medicine combo...after I had a colonoscopy and ended up in the hospital from horrible nausea and vomiting, from dehydration suddenly people were a little more willing to listen....funny how it takes such extremes for people to listen, glad I finally found an EDS doc who listens and has helped me get back to a healthy state 😍

Yes! I totally agree! The other day I was at a restaurant hooked up to my feeding pump. I went to the restaurant because my parents and my siblings were going and I wanted to hang out with them even though I couldn't eat anything. This random woman comes up to me and asks my Dad why I have a feeding tube if I don't need it. I tell her that I do need it because I have gastrparisis. She tells me that I am a attention seeking liar and that GP does not exist. She then rolls her eyes and walks off.

Omg. I remember when I went to camp as a counselor for kids with Crohn’s and another counselor had the nerve to ask me, “why are you so thin?! I have Crohn’s too and I’m not a stick figure.” I almost cried. People are so ignorant and cruel sometimes.

I am 51 and I’ve had chronic constipation since I was a child as well as nausea and vomiting 🤮 issues. I have always had a very love/ hate relationship with food. I’ve dealt with eating disorders and weight issues. About five years or so ago, in the fall I started dropping weight for no reason. I was pretty excited at first I needed to lose some weight. Problem was I couldn’t stop it from coming off. Concerned, I went to the doctors office and was told that my body would level out. Three months later, I went back to the doctor, around 50 pounds later and weak as a kitten. I couldn’t even stand in the shower. Off to the GI doctor I went to receive my gastroparisis diagnosis. I was also sent to the endocrinologist for testing. She ordered a cortisol dumping test. I took one pill for the test and I haven’t stopped putting weight on yet. What a crazy dance this is. Keep your heads up and keep digging for your truth. 😊

I loved this vlog. I could completely relate to it. I don't suffer with gastroparesis but I do have other problems that people don't understand. Ignorant and uneducated people should keep their comments to themselves. I can't stand when people judge others when they have no idea what that person is going through. On another note, I'm glad you don't require a feeding tube. There are numerous complications . I understand that many people require them but they are not a panacea. Jaquie is a perfect example. A feeding tube complication led to her demise; such a horrible tragedy. I know it's none of my business but I can't help thinking that it could have been averted if the doctors were more astute. I have a lot of questions about that but it's water under the bridge. I'm still so sad about her passing. Looking forward to more videos about misconceptions. You speak the truth.

I am the perfect example I’m 6’ tall 265 lbs but I also had something like 65% retention at 4 hours on my gastric emptying study. It makes absolutely no sense. My gastroenterologist says he see’s it all the time of people overweight when he knows they’re calorie deficient.

Any ideas on why when doctors don’t have enough knowledge to know what’s really going on, they just say go to PT and then when you get worse from overdoing it or doing the wrong exercises, they say you’re not trying hard enough and blame you. Sorry for the rant but the journey has been very frustrating.

For me, it was up and down Weight all my life, then massive weight loss 5 years ago- 130 pounds over 8 months time. Which set me in the road to specialists and finally finally getting an eds dx ultimately. The gastroparesus has continued to be horrendous and my weight stays 98-105 mast cell and dairy/gluten and multiple allergies haven’t helped.

I myself am not thin but this is something that I the other day on MON 26 AUG 2019 sat down with my doctor. I did bring this issue up with him when he was giving me my Physical. I even tried out that app that you let us know about. It would be nice to have a more in-depth video on how long it will record for and if there is a way to set it up so it will not stop recording until you tell it to stop?

I gain weight very easily and struggle to lose weight. I think there are 3 main reasons for this 1) fat bothers me and fiber bothers me so I tend to eat too many simple carbs and sugary foods. I can eat a package of lower fat cookies just fine, but will feel sick for hours if I eat an apple. 2) I mistake nausea for hunger. I think this is because I suffered through 2 pregnancies where I was sick 24/7 the entire 9 months. And while pregnant, I had more nausea on an empty stomach. And so now, when I have nausea, my instinct is to eat. And 3) I don't throw up. I used to, until I identified my main trigger as gluten and cut it out of my diet. I still have near constant nausea, I just don't throw up anymore. And I'm definitely not gonna claim going gluten free will help everyone. I have a number of serious GI issues and I very likely have celiac as well. My doctor told me it wasn't worth it to test me if I was committed to a gluten free diet, because testing would mean eating gluten daily for 6 weeks and she said it would be dangerous for me based on my previous symptoms (I'd been gluten free for 6 months or so by that point).

You are so true! I have gastroparesis, I got it after an open hiatal hernia surgery. I gained weight, my doc said it's because the food stays longer so fat retains more in my system. Also my doc said "feeding tube or gastric bypass?" gastric bypass of course but worry because I'm not obese. She said it will help with my symptoms but my gastroparesis will still always be there, I will just have mild symptoms if I go with the surgery. It is a new method now to control gastroparesis with gastric bypass. I still choose to eat even if I'm going to deal with my heavy bloating, I mean I get so bloated I feel like i'm going to blow, thanks to my reglan it really helps a lot though. I rather eat than starve. Izzy this is a great video. I really need to start making some too about gastroparesis. Oh yeah diet doesn't help it still get very bloated with just cream of wheat, protein shakes, smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt or just a banana.

Can you have gastroparesis without the feeling of fullness? I have fibro and my grandma has fibro and gastro and very similar symptoms to me. My insurance is lapsing right now so I have to wait to get the test, but if it isn't that then what are some other stomach things I should check for? I throw up if I walk or stand near eating (within hours), I get intense stomach pain after eating if I walk and at the very least discomfort and mild pain if I do nothing. Right now its been about three hours since eating and I'm experiencing stomach pain at about a 6 out of 10 I guess? Earlier it was worse. Another thing is that part of the not getting full thing is that I just feel so hungry all the time lately. When I first got sick about a year ago I lost a bunch of weight, but I was put on an appetite stimulant and gained weight and havent been able to shake it or the need to eat. I don't ever feel full even though I know logically I've eaten enough, even if my stomach hurts. Even now I want to eat so badly. I'm super frustrated and I want to lose the weight even if it doesn't seem that bad to other people. The first Gastroenterologist I saw was super shitty and did nothing except put me on an antiacid that made things worse. How can I find a good GI?

I feel like it's helps people to understand that it's easy to gain weight when all you can eat are simple carbs. People judge what I eat like I'm only eating junk "eat a vegetable for crying out loud". Easy for them to say. LOL Everything they tell you to eat to lose weight I can't eat. I feel like the only way I could loose weight would be to literally not eat or drink at all. Which I certainly could choose to do but it seems less healthy than what I do now.

I think that one of the reasons gastroparesis makes people gain weight is because food is staying in your stomach for longer which can make you absorb more calories? I’m not sure how accurate/ true that is but it was just a thought i had and that i think I remember reading somewhere
@clarytaylor8582 4 жыл бұрын
I always thought it was simply because the food is just... sitting there. so even if you've technically lost weight, the food's just sitting there adding to your weight? idk, I'm probably wrong

The problems stems from the brain not the stomach
@IzzyKDNA 2 жыл бұрын
Problems CAN be caused from the brain. It can also be due to smooth muscle issues due to defects in those tissues. It can also stem from peripheral nervous system, which distinctly does NOT include the brain and spinal cord.
