Gastroparesis- A Gut-wrenching Condition
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- It's a gut-wrenching condition for almost 2-million Americans. Gastroparesis is a disorder of the digestive system that occurs when the stomach doesn't empty properly.
Dr. Michael Bays is a gastroenterologist on medical staff of Lee Memorial Health System.
"The bottom end of the of the stomach has a small valve that opens up when it has liquid to move out. It has to grind the food. So if you put something like a carrot in there that hasn't been chewed well, that's going to sit in the stomach a long time until the stomach can grind it down to a liquid," Dr. Bays says.
Nerve damage from illness or injury is the most frequent cause of gastroparesis. It is linked to both diabetes and eating disorders. With a constantly full stomach, patients can have mild to major symptoms.
"It's not a comfortable thing -- abdominal pain mostly, nausea, vomiting. Those are all symptoms you get with it."
There is no cure for this condition- it comes down to a matter of management. Patients find what works best for them, from nerve stimulation to drug therapy and modifying meals. Diet is usually the starting point.
"Small amounts, more frequently, 5-6-7 meals a day things that are easy to digest," says Dr. Bays. "As unhealthy as it sounds, no fresh fruits and vegetables. If you want those kinds of things you put them in a juicer."
Working with doctors to diagnose and treat the condition, can help people enjoy a full life.

I sometimes question if a god exist....” if he does” he has a twisted, sense of humor. Gastroparesis is hellish and horrid.
Bassotronics Thank you. God bless you too.
@@ebperformance8436 yes it is. I'm struggling with it now. I've been dealing with it for 4 years now. I'm really not wanting to be hospitalized again
I am scared that I have this, I feel hungry, but I can’t eat well. I constantly feel bloted and hungry so I eat less and less. I can only eat when I am almost starving. Maybe I’m just sick though.
Also, if you have this my prayers are with you
Liquid Water I feel like this too? What do you think it could be
I wrote a comment here where I listed the tests they can do to check. Good luck with your journey :).
Omg! This condition sucks! I’m NEVER hungry and food that I ate 2 days ago feels like it’s stuck in my esophagus! My weight gain is the hardest pain for me since I’m 5 feet tall! I gained 30 pounds with a short window of time. I wish there was hope! One doctor sends you to another and all of a sudden, I’m part of a medical tennis match going back and forth looking for answers! Ugh.
Hello if you are still on here please reach out as I am going through this right now but I am losing a lot of weight
@@Momof3Gma1try Kate farms meals they r liquid after a few months my stomach is much better just drinking liquid meals but also muscle relaxers help a little too
Two day meal? I don't know about that
@@Momof3Gma1 same here. Gaining weight seems so difficult
It feels like something is stuck inside my stomach
I've been dealing since 2019, have you made any improvements 🙏
I love hate having this, never can sleep etc always feeling sick suck. ..

@@DaveEntitythere isn’t a cure for this, you can only ease the symptoms
That's so sad😭
And I thought I had it bad with ibs. My ibs gives me crazy amounts of gas, cramps and fatigue. GI diseases make working, schooling and having a social life challenging ☹
I have it. It's horrible.
I have ibs and Gastroparesis 😅
Claire I have the same Severe IBS ........And severe gastroparesis........They found on endoscopy when I had my throat stretched out ......For the 5th time today April 7th 2023....
For anyone with IBS.......get tested for SIBO & IMO. You will thank me. Most cases of "IBS" are actually overgrowths that require ANTIBIOTICS.
It's horrible...
I’ve had this illness since I was 16 now I’m 21 I hate this illness because it’s like u have the flu but u can never get over it and u never will if u have this illness it’s life long for me I’m in a flare rn and I’ve stayed up almost all night tonight feeling so nauseous I took my nausea medicine my gastro doctor gives me but the pain and the nausea is the worst
im in the Hospital with my 26yr old suffering with this condition🥺😞Lord knows my child has suffered enough with this, n it isnt gettin any better..the exhaustion n helpless ness is heart breaking
Im 22 yrs old and I have this and ive been going through it completely alone :( The medicine they gave me has helped but given me other symptoms .. it just sucks that im so young and dealing with this many complications. Unfortunately covid triggered an automimmune disease that than triggered nerve damage. Prayers for your child .. I know what it feels like
I am 27 with the condition been in and out of hospitals I get it no fun
what autoimmune disease was it?@@Jessknowsbestt
I’m 26, and it happen to me after I caught COVID. It’s been 2yrs for me suffering at 100lbs.
Is there an online support group for this? How can people with severe cases have any kind of life? My 24 year old daughter suffers every moment of everyday! She can’t even work part time anymore. It’s disabling & very depressing. I don’t know how long a person can live with this disease. 😓
Facebook has a few groups with several thousand members.
Lots of information can be gleaned from them...
Good luck!
it’s horrible I just got out of hospital today from a flare up it’s the worst feeling ever I hate to say this but I can’t imagine living another 10 years with this disease
I have it I hate it omg I suffer. I also have a tilted esophagus that closes up about mid-point and I can't vomit
How were you diagnosed with a tilted esophagus?
you can’t vomit?! i’m emetophobic so that is such a fantasy of mine omg. god bless you though😞💗
@@erin3258 sounds like a dream until you are painfully dry heaving all day with no relief
My wife as it it's a nightmare doctor doesn't know what to do for the best
I had this for 5 years And was screaming 24/7 n I was vomiting so bad n couldn't eat n end up loosing weight.i had surgery and got a peg tube i was so depress n sad n a dark place.I finally got better and healing from my tube almost a year in march🙌🙌I nvr want this AGAIN🙏🙏🙏
Do you still eat normal?
Watching this makes me think I do have this i have had these symptoms for months I really need help getting tested.
I had a surgery to repair this. They found so many ulcers my stomach adhered to my liver. They gave me kinda like a gastric bypass and I was underweight. I'm tall (5"8). It's been a full year now and I still cannot stomach anything but 2 foods. I'm either now totally grossed out from previous unfortunate vomiting or fearful of what might happen. I don't know if I have gastroperese anymore but I cannot find anyone that can help. My stomach specialist didn't teach me how to eat again after showing Starvation in my lab work. I don't know who else to ask for resources. I'd appreciate any help I can get. The thought of eating upwards of 7x a day sounds like my personal hell. I don't care about my weight. This isn't vanity it's pain and fear of pain
I think the pandemic gave me this. My family forced me to say in my shitty apartment in Brighton, Boston and I barely left my bedroom for two months, had a limited diet, accidentally took Ibuprofen on an empty stomach and was misprescribed both antibiotics & nystatin for a cold that was falsely diagnosed as thrush. (In reality, it was just an seriously adverse reaction to nystatin.) I just pray that I'm not diabetic and that my upcoming procedures are actually approved.
I think this is caused by severe stress, Which Damages the vagus nerve. This leads to depression. The right antidepresant medication helps, Which is very very hard to find that works for u. Check with your doctor before doing anything.
This is a physial problem, not a mental one.

i’m so scared. i just got diagnosed today. today i think my life is changed. i was suppose go to college 7 hours away in 4 months and i don’t know if that’s gonna happen now
Riley M keep your head up kid.
The doctor did say in the video there is ways to manage this disease such as eating several small amounts of food a day. To help aide the digestion process. Your life isn't over so keep with your plans. Good Luck.
YOU CAN DO THIS
it may take you longer
you may take breaks
you may have to take easier semesters
you may have to cut back on your social life
but it is POSSIBLE to live a life as a college student with these disease, just a little more unique :)
Riley M., both my younger sister and I have dealt with gastroparesis for over a decade now.
It does suck, sometimes worse that others, but with some foresight with meal planning and scheduling you will learn how to make accommodations for your GP.
I recently met an old woman who has been suffering from GP for over twenty years.
Hang in there and learn to develop a strong, longterm fighting mindset and an overcoming attitude...
It ain't easy, but You Can Do It!!!
Hang in there, and never give up.👍
If you haven't already, maybe look into joining a group on Facebook, etc.
Lots of people share their experiences and tips on how they deal daily with GP.
Good luck!
I cant digest anything 😢😢😢 god please im getting tired of
I suffered with gastroparesis for a few years. In the end I sought out hypnotherapy which helped out a huge amount. I hate to admit it but what really cured me however was when I got pregnant! The hormones kicked in and took over my body :/ I realise this isn't an answer for everyone though of course. I would really recommend hypnotherapy to anybody suffering with this - it helped me immensely.
Well I heard it a the vagus vain which is linked to the brain , so yeah hypnotherapy should do something , well that’s my understanding
I have this an I literally feel full all the time. I just spent 2 weeks in the hospital because everytime I would eat I woudl throw it right back up. It's super painful as well. I still am having the issues even tho they sent me home. I literally eat 2 to 3 bites of food an thats all I eat a day. I lost 40 pounds in 3 months. I had to have blood because I wasn't getting food to get my vitamins. I got very sick. An it hurts as well. This is miserable.
How r u
I have it and have unfortunately been on tpn before. now I have a feeding tube, have to vent my g all day long, feed into my j, iv fluids and meds due to malabsorption issues, a ton of nausea medicine, and endless hospital visits for tearing my stomach, intestinal blockage, leaky bowels, sepsis, on and off full digestive tract paralysis, slow colonic transit, surgeries, muscle wasting, on and off dumping syndrome on the rare occasions I’m not backed up, various acute organ failures, chronic gastritis, chronic esophagitis, chronic hypokalemia, dehydration, chronic gerd, a crappy immune system, tremendously dry skin causing cracks, rapid weight loss or gain, hair loss, hormone issues, etc etc etc and a partridge in a pear tree!! Lol. There are worse cases out there though. It’s definitely not an easy condition and many of us have secondary issues, or an accompanying primary illness. POTS is common, so is MCAS, diabetes, PCOS, neuromuscular disorders like MS or muscle dystrophy, cancer, SIBO, IBS, neuropathy, vagus nerve damage, Lupus, raynauds syndrome, fibromyalgia, ulcerative colitis, etc. you’re constantly in pain, constantly nauseous, constantly throwing up because food has been sitting in your stomach fermenting, or worse, the ones who can’t throw up to alleviate the pressure or get the rotten food out. Pain management drs don’t like treating you because most pain medicines further slow down your gi tract, there’s a gastric pacemaker but it doesn’t increase motility, it just helps with the nausea but it only works for 50% of people with less severe symptoms. It’s rare, so not many drs or hospitals in general know much about it, or how to help improve your quality of life. There are medications to help motility but after awhile they stop working so it’s best to alternate, and the really good medication is banned in America unless your dr fills out some lengthy forms to get an exemption, otherwise you have to order it from Canada, all because US pharmaceutical companies consider it competition, and paid their lobbyists to get our govt to ban it. However, it can cause heart issues or worsen existing issues. Even a lot of the nausea medicines can cause permanent uncontrollable muscle ticks. If anyone out there sees this, and think you might have it, ask your doctor to do a ges, Sitz marker test, or the smart pill. That’ll let you know how well you’re digesting food. Some can be diagnosed by an endoscopy as well. I was NPO in the hospital for 3 days and they still found food in my stomach when they did the scope. A few of these tests can be tricky. If you’re in a flare or just constantly have crap motility, then it’ll show on the test to confirm GP. However, if you’re not in a flare, or have good days, your results will come back normal. I’d ask for a repeat when your symptoms are horrible. If you’re recently diagnosed, need a support group, or are a caregiver, family member or friend of someone with this, there are a ton of good groups on fb.

Yea this condition sucks. 😢 always have to worry about what you eat and whats in it
what are the signs of this?
I don’t know if I have this or not but it feels like my stomach is just giving up on passing food through it I have mild chest pains from time to time and I’m constantly full
It sounds like I have this
Condition..because I
Can't for the life of me
Figure out why I don't
Have normal bowel
Movements..this is GUT
Wrenching to say the
Least.i really have to
Discuss this topic with
My family doctor.
If u arent having vomitting and upper gastric issues...just lower gastric issues. Look up IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
It's a pain diagnosed with it two years ago, if your diabetic a lot of food your told to eat isn't good for them.
One of my close friend had Gastroparesis, he have tried almost every possible way and every type of medicine.But at the end he used Ayurvedic Medicines from Planet Ayurveda and got relief. After that I also always preferred Planet Ayurveda and recommend this to everyone.
Hello what formula did your friend use from planet auyurveda ? Please help 🙏
I juice and make sure I chew my food properly can be annoying, but I got used to it.
If a god exists...he has a sick sense of humor” The only comfort you get is throwing up” But not too much because you have to deal with the pain” in your sternum area and back” I wish there was a cure☹️ “I’m currently in day 5 of nausea” And close to another hospital stay.
This condition is mentally draining.
I've had on and off nausea for the past 6 months.... It sucks. I find lowering fat intake and eating more natural foods (fruit, vegetables etc) helps.
So that's what we do blame God? I was diagnosed with this in 2016 and it's horrible but GOD IS STILL GOOD!!!
Some days it’s just so hard to handle
My symptoms are
Acid reflux
Burping
Constipation
Heartburn
Nausea without vomiting,
I was feeling better but then it came back
Is this gastroparesis or something else?? 😔😔😔
If i dont have gastreoparisis im going to do what I can to not develop it
Have you been checked ?
Sound similar to me only I don't have constipation and rarely nauseated - just acid reflux, gas and heart burn which are all the same thing really, yet I was diagnosed with GP. They only scanned me for 1 hour though and the test is supposed to be done for 4!
My doctor diagnosed with with this and all I get is frequent nausea. Fortunately I don’t throw up
Theres been about 3 times i ended up almost going through with suicide cuz the pain is so bad i wish Alina health and MNGI actually cared about people I’m bed ridden most of the time EVEN WITH GOOD DIET if i diet i guess oh well 😅 it also feels like my skin is on fire 🔥
I have Gastroparesis and it sucks. I am sick all the time . nausea and vomiting. 1:31
I had to have a feeding tube in for 6 months cuz my gastroparesis has gotten soo bad.
Does it help??!
I found I have this today April 7th 2023.......It's scaring me my food sits there doesn't move.......I wonder I have so much pain......This gastroparesis they said have it severe 😢...........
Burps from hell
Didn't that girl from in that movie merical from heaven have this 🤨🤔

Melany Skincare add fermented foods to your diet eat good bacteria no sugar no bread juice all veggies for easy digestion and absorption but must fix gut health so your body can absorb nutrients it all starts with your gut health try dry fasting for 24 hours
SANTIAGO MALDONADO Most people with Gastroparesis can’t eat vegetables. They are actually not easy to digest. Gastroparesis is paralysis of the stomach. I’ve found the easiest foods to digest are junk food like chips and such. You’d think a healthy diet would help but you’re absolutely wrong.
Been dealing with it for 4 years now😔
