What is gastroparesis?
Gastroparesis literally translated means "stomach paralysis". Gastroparesis is a digestive disorder in which the motility of the stomach is either abnormal or absent. In healthy people, when the stomach is functioning normally, contractions of the stomach help to crush ingested food and then propel the pulverized food into the small intestine where further digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs. When the condition of gastroparesis is present the stomach is unable to contract normally, and therefore cannot crush food nor propel food into the small intestine properly. Normal digestion may not occur.

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 was diagnosed yesterday.
I literally want to die.
I miss food.
I miss eating how I want and when I want.
Not the thought of food makes me want to cry.
Never even had a healthy relationship with it to begin with. Now this.
It’s ok! I know you can do it🤍
I've had it for 35 years. I eat whatever I want- ONLY in moderation. Smaller meals you'll lose weight.
@@oreally8605 Someone has it 5 years longer than myself. It's certainly a horrible, rough, tough condition.
Dottie, just curious from one GP’r to another, how are you doing these days? I have had it now for 11 years and with time it has become bearable. The less is better way of life is so true for me nowadays. It IS a real game changer in Life and not just for you, but the need to explain it to your family and friends. Just keep doing the best research you can manage and trust with time you can find that right foods for your body. Every one’s experience can be so different as there are so many things to account for. Let us know how you are, you are very lucky to have found Izzie’s site, she is so great at explaining things that do and don’t work. She even has great ideas for what meds and or other digestive aids she has found which help. Again, what May work for her may not work for all of us. We each have to figure it out. Hoping life is treating you much better these days!!
@@gastrogal5353 is it incureable? i got lot of sign and waiting to poop first before visiting doctor. im afraid i won't be freely eat anymore since food around here is mostly spicy and fatty.
I got diagnosed with GP in September and I had to be hospitalized for 2 weeks with a feeding tube. My life has been ruined ever since this started happening. It’s so hard to eat literally anything and the worst part is watching my mom and siblings eat whatever they want and I’m just there. Idk how people manage to stay happy and enjoy their lives with this condition but no matter how hard I try I just can’t and it really really sucks..
Im planning to die
I feel your pain!
@@briana1643 my significant other when through something similar. She really did almost die. She got used to the diet restrictions and began to feel happy again. It took time, but now she's starting to be able to handle small amounts of the foods that used to give here so much pain. Good luck and hang in there.
Hey girl, I was just diagnosed as well. And I looked into a video by “that girl Audra” where she just did white rice for a couple days-weeks, then she added SUPER well cooked veggies, until she was able to slowly digest more food. Now she’s on a vegan diet and can eat lots of fiber. Doesn’t work for everyone but it’s helped me. Juicing/ soup helps too. You just have to retrain your system to digest again. Hope you feel better 💙
It’s really really depressing, I feel u
I just got diagnosed with this yesterday. I don't even really know what I'm doing. I feel like it is just constant discomfort, and I'm very upset about it.
Did they give u papers about it
Same here. Recently diagnosed out of the hospital. I have no support. I feel like just nothing 😔
After 5 years of having gastroparesis/functional dyspepsia I tried 30mg cymbalta at night and my food literally shoots through me and I have so much energy! My pupils are a little dialated but feel so much better!
@@jrod1235 Depression hurts... Cymbalta can help! Lol that's awesome and no worries just tell everyone you think they're very pretty
@@themelonsoup yeah pretty sure it is fibromyalgia of the stomach is what my mayo doctor said and he suggested it. Lyrica is also an option but talk to your doctor. Pretty sure it was 3 waves of stomach flu that set my cns into overdrive and then it felt like my whole digestive system stopped causing the misdiagnosis of gastroparesis. Now I can literally hear my food moving through me. After 5 years of having to think about what rice to eat next I was probably depressed. If you find you can eat eggs and they pass out of your stomach good it will trick the gastric emptying test into thinking you do not have any problems. Eggs are actually good for fibromyalgia.
I don't know if this helps but eating the gp diet and picking through food like a bird was really crushing my mood. I was able to eat once i found thc gummies. The problem was the next day I felt like crap because I felt good so i ate...too much. It took a friend to tell me something and it slapped me across the face, but i needed it. I will tell you what i was told and it helped me. " Food is fuel, not fun". think about that a minute. I figured I get full easily anyhow, why am i looking at food the same way as before. Once food was just my tool to not feel hunger, the little amounts of meals didn't matter as much......AS MUCH. It's not perfect but it gets me over the "everyone get to eat this or that" thinking. Now holidays are about sampling good food and making memories. I honestly my words help somebody. If one person was helped, it was worth it.
Can I just say thank you!!! Your discription of what you can and can't eat is closer to me than anyone else I've met or heard.
wow so cool that our restrictions are similar!!!
Wheat is a big trigger for gastroparesis for me. It will also cause reflux & motility issues with my esophagus. And whole wheat is ‘the worst’ but I can tolerate a potato bread (aka white bread) okay once a week or so. We eat pomegranates just not the actual seeds. 💗 Crab 💗
Thank-you for making this video! I was the one who suggested it
such a great suggestion!!
@@IzzyKDNA e
I just recently learned I may have gastroparesis and it has really upset me because I have to find new foods to love :/ thank you, this was helpful for me :)
Thank you for sharing this information Izzy. You are so right when you mentioned to be careful with fibre. The obvious danger would be colon rupture due to the inability to digest at times. All you need is a small tear. And with a collagen issue healing is ongoing. Been there.
I love vegan protein smoothies. It’s working for me. Nutella too!!!
Thank you for sharing. We all have different experiences through life and because of sharing your knowledge, we all learn and benefit.
Many people still do not know EDS and it’s symptoms and comorbidity. 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for the video! You don't tolerate tea for two reasons: 1. because the caffeine in it slows down your already mega-slow digestion, and 2. because the theanine in it increases dopamine, which may make gastroparesis symptoms worse.
Caffeine has the opposite effect for me,I will go to much and to often. I take it to help with other pain and because I do not sleep for days at a time. I love tea but still have problems with it sometimes.....I didn't know why thank you for your input!
Definitely food for thought, Izzy! I haven’t been diagnosed with GP, but some foods are definitely easier to digest than others.....
It was so cool to find this video! I was diagnosed with GP when I was 15 and I'm 21 now. I have never met another person with the disease and it is a really lonely and hard thing to go through most days. I use to have such a good appetite and would eat so many of the foods that, once diagnosed, had to give up completely. I have Diverticulitis as well and it adds to the food and drink I can't have. Between the 2 of them I can't have raw fruits and veggies (they need to be "well cooked"), eggs, beans, rice, seeds, nuts (they can be ground into powder and cooked into things just not in a form where they get caught in the pockets/holes caused by Diverticulitis), citrus of any kind, oats, tomatoes, carbonated drinks, coffee, and anything else that ferments, creates gas, is very acidic, or harsh that you can think of, these are just my main things that are avoided on a daily. It can get really hard to not only find things to eat in certain eateries but to also want to go out with friends or even eat family dinners during the holidays because I have to be so picky with my food. My roommates and boyfriend (bless them) do everything in their power to help me and make meals that we can all enjoy but even then, it gets really hard for me to enjoy them when I realise most if not all are unhealthy meals. I have struggled with my health as well as my weight for the last 6 years and while it is much, much easier than it was in the beginning, and I am more than thankful to not need a tube, it feels like a crushing weight that wants to suffocate me most of the time. This video made me happy because it helps me to know that I am not alone in this, and while we all can have different forms of this disease, we're all still fighting it, and living, together...
I also have both. I was diagnosed 5 yrs. Ago but I didn't take it seriously. I was still eating unhealthy. It caught up with me this year. Not only have I lost 25 pounds in the last 2 months but I can't eat anything. No appetite at all. I am also afraid that if I eat it will make things worse. I don't know what to do.
I have ibs with diarrhea and Gastro paresis. It’s very frustrating with what you can and can’t eat. My gastroparesis is recently extremely flared up spent three days in the hospital and currently on bedrest just trying to stay hydrated is a challenge.
Broccoli... I eat the very tops raw. Cucumbers... only burpless. Soup is a godsend. Warm water works better, in fact... starting the day with a hot cup of water and sugar to make it more absorbable stimulates the speed of your digestive track and feels like a heating pad on the inside 😁 I am over 50 and have yet to be professionally diagnosed, but have suffered many years. I live in ND... we're backward medically. There are powdered peanuts that I love. I also live in a small town and am just getting used to ordering online to expand my choices. Maybe I should do a podcast 😁
I've been told for years different problems, " oh you have allergies, oh you have food resistances, oh you need to go low red meat, oh low fodmap, oh its such and such...recently been hospitalized and now going to see a GA tomorrow to specifically test for gastroparesis, been following a GP diet for s few days and I feel so much better already, now listening to the intro to your video I'm sitting here thinking "why did it take this long...." everything you were talking about being able to have, not being able to have, different levels of severity and all that. I truly believe its gastroparesis and it feels good to have hope I'll be able to live actually feeling good more often
And lo and behold it was Gastroparesis! Finally I have an answer and a way to treat it
Hi Izzy! I just want to say thank you for these videos. My sister is Type 1 diabetic and was diagnosed with Gastroparesis after she had my niece about a year ago. It's been really tough because she is in and out of the hospital every other week. I am trying so much to help her as much as I can but I know she's really tired of feeling nauseous all the time and in pain. I can only imagine what you ladies are feeling. She is at a point where she's scared to eat because she thinks every single thing is going to upset her stomach but after looking at your videos I can let her know some foods that help you can possibly help her too but she's going to have to try and see what works and doesn't work for her. Anyway, thanks again and I hope you are well.
I recently tried a good organic carrot juice like from Whole Foods, so far I feel relief from bloating in 15 minutes and feel stomach moving
My GI and I are investigating into a diagnosis atm! Knowing that gastroparesis is a pretty common comorbidity and I'm pretty symptomatic with high fiber foods I tend to stay away from raw veggies, but mashed potatoes, veggies that are stir fry/steamed or put into a soup are ways I try to get my veggies in 😊 also smoothies are a giant yes for me
Smoothies have always been my friend! I do so many smoothies and protein shakes.
Hi I found out that I had gastrophoresis a year ago and I have been trying to figure out gastrophoresis diets I'm gaining weight not losing weight which sucks because I wanna lose weight but I'm so glad I found ur channel
I was just diagnosed this morning. You’re videos are helping me stay calm. I’m terrified of needing a feeding tube. I had a small feeling it was this but now I’m scared.
1. Some ppl find that eating smaller meals frequently helps.
2. Plus making each of the meals well balanced (with protein, carbs, veggies) can help too (to prevent blood sugar crashes).
3. Limiting the amount of fat per meal is key. Too much fat per meal can make gastropareisis worse. (e.g. a sandwich with BOTH avocado and mayonnaise in it can be too much fat... So choose just ONE of either of these to go with the other fillings in the sandwich)
4. Finally, taking digestive enzymes with every meal of the day can make a huge difference (make sure you buy a brand that contains Protease, Amylase, Lipase and Cellulase).
Do you have a particular brand of enzymes you recommend? I'm a long time GP patient but my GI doc has never mentioned digestive enzymes. Any info would be greatly appreciated, hope you stay healthy as you can be!
@@Apache4Justice Hi Apache4Justice! I have only tried one brand and it works for me, it's Genuine N-Zimes formula #10, extra strength. I think if you can't find it in your local pharmacy or health food store, they have an online website but I'm not sure where they ship to. It's lifestyleenzymes.com.au
All the best to you and your health too!
your videos literally helped me get diagnosed. i have eds and thats how i found your channel but have had problems eating for years that i was told was due to anxiety and anorexia. after watching your videos ive been able to experiment with my diet especially with liquids and now have my anorexia diagnosis removed and i go for my gastric emptying study next week :)
I know this was a year ago, but me too! I’ve wondered about GP since I started watching her videos, and finally had the courage to ask my GI doctor to be tested and I was diagnosed a two months ago. Same with POTS. I always thought my symptoms were normal until I started passing out more often. I’m so thankful for more awareness of these diseases.
@@MK-cj9yu May I ask what your symptoms are for GP and POTS? My doctor thinks I have POTS - and coincidentally enough those symptoms started at the same time my stomach issues started (upper abdomen distension, almost no hunger, losing a lot of weight, etc.) but they can't figure out what my stomach issue is. I don't feel nauseas or vomit so I don't know if it's GP. I also feel short of breath or easily winded if my stomach is really swollen. Not sure if that's common with anyone else.
@@annemariemele-barone4921 for me, I’ve passed out quite a few times, and I’m dizzy often. I get blood pooling, which is where my hands and feet turn purple. Also my body doesn’t regulate temperature well at all, which can be common with dysautonomia. I could also feel my heart racing after standing a lot, and my vision goes black after standing up. For GP, I had horrible stomach pain for a long time, vomiting, I feel full after not eating much, and weight loss only because I was so scared to eat for a while. I lived off of bread and liquids for a few months. You can have GP and not vomit or gain weight. I’ve gone through periods where I gain a bunch of weight. I feel like that’s a huge misconception. I hope you’re doing well and find answers soon 💗 don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself too. I had to push to get a GES, my doctor kept saying because I’m not diabetic I couldn’t have it.
@@annemariemele-barone4921 my heart races when I eat too much or throw up. I forgot bloating is a huge issue for me too, i just wear hoodies and sweatpants now because it’s embarrassing sometimes. Dysautonomia can cause a lot of weird, random symptoms. I joined a group on Facebook & found a lot of people also had similar, totally random symptoms. Sorry I’m all over the place, I only read the first half when I replied. I hope this makes sense and helps.
@@MK-cj9yu Thanks! I hope to get answers. I hope things get better for you soon ❤ It's not easy but you have to find what works for you. Have you ever considered seeing a naturopath? They might be able to provide a different approach to treatment. I plan to go on a couple week elemential diet with Absorb Plus. It has full nutrients so I shouldn't lose more weight and it will give my bowels a break. You're exactly right about standing up for yourself...I will. Right now I feel like I'm getting the runaround from doctors.
Seeing you looking quite healthy after suffering Gastro Parecis gives me hope lol.
Over the past 5 years I've been hospitalized numerous times due to cyclic vomiting, dehydration and kidney failure. I've noticed during these episodes I have no gut sounds and no bowel movements. I've been on IV phosphates for malnourishment. Food has gone from a passion to a fear. I find it interesting your mention of sushi. Sashimi is the first thing I'm drawn to after a cycle of vomiting and no food. I know I'm close to the end of an episode when I can hear/feel peristalsis start back up. All my Doctors just tell me they don't have an answer.
This is currently me. I've tried every nausea and vomiting medication out there as well as diet. I am still so nauseous and vomiting everything. It's tearing me apart and I wish for a solution for us.
I was hospitalized for the kidney failure are well do you have to do Dialysis ???
@@Heathababe48 Nope they chose to put me on a sodium/saline/acid reducer and occasional pain med and emissis suppression drip for a few days. I've found your healthcare provider can dictate how you are treated.
September I was hospitalized after hyperemesis left me in risk of a cardiac event. I was hospitalized for 3 days then with a potassium drip. However nobody knows "what's wrong". Just keep on ending up in the hospital and loosing work. I used to be of peak health and I'm beyond frustrated now.
This doc has a lot of info on interventions. Perhaps you could discuss some of these approaches with your doctor? ruclips.net/video/VGEWPnM9eTQ/видео.html
I’ve had gastroparisis for decades. I mainly eat pizza. 3 pieces a day so one pizza feeds me for at least 2 days. I buy “Gino’s East” from gold belly or Walmart. Even though it’s high in fat, the calories keep my health up.
If someone has gastroparesis and hyperproteinemia on top of EDS, like in my case, it gets even more interesting. My hp is atypical, so I have to go meat-heavy several times a month. Yak, ostrich, and beefalo seem to cause the least trouble in terms of meat. I just add avocado oil or bacon fat for the necessary fat. A handful of vegetables, only cooked. Cherries, blueberries, and huckleberries. Goat milk kefir (blueberry acai), Australian or Greek yogurt (very few flavors), sea salt chocolate (coconut-free), and about 4 different flavors of ice cream. That's about all I can eat, and even those, I sometimes regret.
This is the "greatly improved /expanded" list.
Yak, ostrich taste like very lean beef, btw.
I also find I react really well to meat. I try to eat more paleo, but I admit that I do have issues eating a lot of veggies. There’s something about most of them that’s I can’t even swallow
I was diagnosed 6 months ago and this really helped me!
I've been on a liquid diet for about a month again, idk if I have GP but we were worried its IBD, I have a GI appointment in a couple of weeks. I have soft foods in small amounts when I can. But I've saved up my Zofran for today (Thanksgiving) especially and have my Peppermint Tea waiting to go with the meal. I've sat outside some evenings crying because family either wants to make me feel included and comes to sit with me and the sight of dinner drives me insane, or if I sit alone then the smell of dinner can suck, too. Today is already hard, smelling it all cooking, not being included for the first time in cooking and baking because I'm in my wheelchair and they thought doing everything was nicer for me than asking for help, and then with the virus almost none of us are here for the first time in forever. So I thought I'd watch some What To Eat/What To Avoid before meal time today to really remind myself what to snack on with everyone. :')
I was just diagnosed with gastroparesis after a bad bacterial infection in my stomach. Its gotten to the point I'm having issues eating all together now. My doctor told me to use a fiber supplement for my ibs and I spent all last night puking, so I'm now binging the rest of your videos
We're all different. Seafood is the best. I have gluten intolerance also. Thank you for making this video it's very helpful.
Thanks for making this videos. I'm not diagnosed with gastroparesis (Still waiting for an hour in the public services), but at least 1 time per week I start to vomit non digested food, like I can eat veggies and meat and 10 hours later I vomit the food almost intact, so now I wanted to know what food is easier to digest.
Hope you're doing great ^^
You just gained a new subscriber ❤️🇺🇸
It's so awful feelong sick all the time. I had soup with rice and kale last night, leek and potato with normal potato, and I woke up thing morning not feeling as sick 🙏
Kale? Wrong food for us GP people.
Nutella actually works pretty well for me... but sushi will kill me
Stone Johnson Vlogs I miss Nutella- but I’m pretty sure there is dairy in it, I’ve only found one brand of chocolate that is dairy free. Sushi- I can handle one piece usually- the crab/advocado type- not raw!
Btw, bananas are a good one- for me- either a few bites or put in a smoothie to give me calories, with a bit of peanut butter etc for protein.
I have just gotten word from my primary care provider that I most likely have gastroparesis (I still need to have a gastric emptying test before it will be official) and finding this video was encouraging. I was told about 6 years ago I had IBS by a different provider but none of the medications worked and I felt awful. Around about September 2020 I was constantly sick and due to COVID and parent difficulties, I only got my endoscopy two days ago. I was not at all expecting this diagnosis and honestly thought it would be Crohn's or Peptic Ulcers. I've been odd in that I just keep gaining weight and with how fully my stomach was, I'm wondering how much of it I've just been holding onto... Anyway, thank you for this video! It's really interesting seeing how people live with this condition if nothing else. I'm currently only allowed to eat what I can put through a blender (and that is low fat) and I've been struggling a bit with it because I'm just constantly hungry. They told me no chocolate either, but admittedly, brownies have given me some of the worst reactions so I'm not surprised to see them ranked so low. I'm going to look through your channel some more here! I've never actually seen someone with the same symptoms that I've struggled with and I'm a bit hungry for the knowledge know that I have a name to the experience. Thank you for making this!!! It's been more helpful than I expected
Hey, hope you’re doing well, could you give us a lil update on how you’ve managed your diet so far. I was just diagnosed with GP as well and I’m trying to gather as much info about it as I can, my biggest problem is weight loss and nutrient absorption, I’ve been on a liquid diet for close to 6 months now and its been incredibly difficult trying to stay at a healthy weight. I’m 5’10 and weight 105 lbs, it’s frightening I’m weak all the time.
I was just diagnosed with gastroparesis a few days ago and I’m freaking out. I am glad that I have found your channel. Thank you for sharing your journey and knowledge.
@@dw8723 Hey, it’s been a month since your comment, hope you’re doing ok. I wanted to reply because I was just diagnosed with GP by my GI, she referred me to a nuclear medicine facility where they did a test on me called a “gastric emptying study” which consisted of me eating a egg sandwich laced with a radioactive agent, then I was kept under observation inside an MRI like contraption for 4 hours, the results showed my digestive tract is 15% slower than normal at breaking down food and moving it through the system.
How r u
Hey! My names AJ and I’m 19. I’ve stumbled upon your video now because for most of my teen life I have a hard time eating food. I put way more food on my plate than my body allows me to eat. I’ve always thought it was super strange. I am only able to eat a few bites of food before I lose appetite and feel like I might throw up if I eat anymore. Even if I haven’t eaten anything the entire day it can still happen! I’ve never actually thrown up but I always feel like I’m starving and I’m not eating the amount of food I should be. I haven’t gained weight since about my freshman year of high school. I’ve always been in between 130 and 140 lbs. I also deal with lactose intolerance and I use lactaid pills to help digest dairy and it works well but I still get upset stomachs after eating. Its not every time but it happens a good amount of the time. I’ve finally decided to try and figure out why this is and was hoping I could get some feedback from anyone in the comments about there experiences. I have not seen a doctor but I hopefully plan to! Thank you all!
Me too...get the nausea bad ,but usually do not vomit. Sometimes I dry heave though. My MD is also a D.O. so she said try both gas x for after meals and beano before meals. I use lactaid tablets for dairy too. Also she taught me a technique for massaging my stomach to help aid in digestion when needed. I would say an MD who is a D.O is a good choice so they can give you the different perspectives on how to tackle the problem at hand.
Also I practice intermittent fasting. Having 12 to 16 hours of not eating gives my digestive system a break. I also have complex regional pain syndrome so for me when I have a flare of that the problems with digesting food are worse.Corn is hard to digest, even something like corn chex is impossible. 1 bite makes me bloated ,in pain , nauseous and gassy.
I wish you all the best as you sort through this. P.S. initially I lost a few pounds with intermittent fasting , but I did regain them. Be sure to end early with your fasting time . Choosing a window like 5am to 5 pm is wise. When days are very bad my window changes from 1 pm to 5 or 6 pm, then no more eating. It does help
Jaquie used to say she would eat Cucumber all the time as well raw. But Cucumbers are a bland veggie and consist of a lot of water.
But as you mentioned first and foremost, this is what works for you. I mean putting that you were recommended to stay away from something by a doctor might be the same for anyone that goes and sees a digestive doctor working with gastroparesis, they tell you to stay away from foods and eat in small quantities.
With mine I can't eat things with skins or strings and thought that I'd be fine with peeled boiled or baked sweet potatoes but it actually has strings and must be blended. (and I have to make sure all the strands are removed from bananas) For me it's less about fibre than about residue. e.g. blended oatmeal is mostly fine but baked beans have too much residue and will trigger a flare up - I can't go near pulses
Anyway, thanks for the ideas...going to try that seaweed!!
Excellent. Sooooo hard for me explaining to my family about fiber, veggies, meats etc. (broccoli is horrible for me digest😮, whereas avocado 🥑 I can do.. and yes- I can do mainly soft foods, once a day. And always bring food home. Aloe Vera juice- I drink like 3-5 a day. As well as sometimes liquidy smoothies. Lots u mentioned I can’t eat due to mast cell and all my allergies.
How r u
@@morningwithgracie7870 hangin in there. How r you?
I personally vape without nicotine for when I can't eat but want to taste something. I talked to my GP about it and they said that it's fine 🤷🏻♀️
Izzy just want to say that you are so beautiful and that gorgeous smile of yours just lights up the room! 😘😘 much love from a gal pal
By the way, just be careful not to eat too much crab/lobster as they can accumulate heavy metals (mercury) and other toxins in their flesh, which humans then eat...and too much can cause problems of its own. Crabs and lobsters and other seafood that is not actual fish (with scales AND fins) may be categorised as "scavenger" organisms which feed on ocean debris and therefore accumulate higher levels of all sorts of toxins, compared to fish that have both scales AND fins.
And if you do decide to eat actual fish, make sure it's not from a fish farm, but wild caught, as farmed fish also accumulate high levels of toxins because of the overcrowded conditions they're farmed in.
I hope I don't freak you out but I felt I should mention it
I’m a mum and I think you eat a good diet. Taking into account your limitations, even chocolate 🍫 has some health benefits. You do you honey xxxx 💕
Loved this! Great job Izzy!!
Omg gastroparesis not caring what’s healthy is so true!!!
Roasted seaweed is a really good one for me. But crab kills me every time no matter how good it tastes😭😭
I hope this helps. I have been asked to drink a prebiotic drink Kefir. It helped me digest and I stopped vomiting. 6 Oz per day is worth it.
I can't eat red meat anymore. I can eat fish, especially shrimp as long as it's grilled or broiled not fried. I definitely can't handle fried foods. I do find soups(I love pho) are easy to digest. I also find the earlier I eat in the day the better I feel. If I go to bed on a full stomach, I will vomit up undigested food the next morning. Not fun!
Majoma Jodi Mahaffey Artist I’m the same exact way can’t go to bed with an even partially full stomach
@@artemismoon3754 I'm the same way. If I've fallen asleep after eating even a small portion of food, I wake up in the morning, in pain, nausea and vomiting. Not fun at all. What's your remedy for this when it happens?
What's your remedy in the morning when that happens? How do you fix it without having to go to ther doctor or ER? Majoma Jodi Mahaffey Artist
@@dorisjking8937 now 1 year later if you still are suffering,, take a shower not a bath. prefferaly before too much discomfort,, move around or exercise in the shower.. do something active even in the middle of the night.... and the king remedy ...throw up, the sooner the better. the longer you have the discomfit the more it sets in.. dont wait for morning.. the reason you get it at night is your not moving around.. another thing is at 5pm go swimming in the local pool followed by sauna spa etc.. like a shower this increases a lot of body functions and moves food.. get good sleep.. tiredness increases your problem.. hope some of this helps
so well done and explained!! Thank you!
I don't have gastroparesis, however, this topic does fit chronic pancreatitis. I follow a low fat diet as my body does not digest food easily without the help of medications (pancrelipase). Of course I am only human and indulge in things I like even though I know it can make me feel ill and not digest properly. Love watching your videos.
I have chronic pancreatitis too! And what you say is sooo true...Over and over again I torture myself because it seems that everything I love to eat is bad for me. Over the last year it has gotten more restrictive because I've developed type 3 diabetes. From what I've experienced .. my pancreatic diet and diabetic diet cancel each other out.. so basically I'm left with nothing and dealing with a flare of 1 or the other. I've literally got up and walked away from dieticians .. asking them did you read my file at all? Do you hear what you're saying? Ugh.. frustrating to say the least
@@harvmn22 One Hospitalist wanted me on a low fat, low carb, low sodium diet. I was seeing a Nutritionist who didn't help much other than teaching me portion size of meat being the size of a deck of cards. Other than that, I already knew everything she was teaching me. Those diets do cancel each other out for sure. I have pre-diabetes, but diabetes does run in my family. Do you know what caused your pancreatitis? I'm in the unknown category as I do not drink alcohol and nobody in my family has ever had it before. In fact, I was the worst case of it that my surgeon has seen in his 43 years (at the time I was diagnosed).
@@RollingThunderDJs mine is pretty bad as well, with most Drs refusing to put me on their table or I get referred again.. At first they labeled it as alcoholic because I did drink socially, but once that was put in my file I was treated so poorly because of the "stigma" that comes with alcohol. After many many tests and a failed whipple that turnèd into a modified peustow (which further complicates my issues and surgeons not wanting to touch me) it was discovered that mine was a birth deffect caused by divisum (non fusion of the pancreatic duct). So alcohol and social drinking did not help me for sure, but it sped up the process of something that I would eventually have to deal with anyway. Alcohol is a big no no for me.. and was something I enjoyed so I would repeatedlysay well maybe this time I can have a glass of wine with friends .. nope.. almost instantly I become I'll. I don't torture myself that way anymore for sure.. except with food. I've had 2 feeding tubes which makes me look like I have 3 belly buttons 😐, 6+ months of TPN.. to many Ct's,MRI, ultrasounds to count.. I don't qualify for TP/AIT because I no longer have islet cells and have developed vascular issues with the portal vein, biliary problems etc.. I didn't even have a chance to be pre diabetic... suddenly I just "was" and they overlooked it. My sugars were either over 500 or under 50.. still trying to get that right. Sorry for the book lol ... I haven't come across many people who have this issue or if they do they don't talk about it. It's a pain that I would not wish on anyone for sure
@@harvmn22 I was diagnosed in 2015 and spent the better part of the year in and out of the hospital. I lost 110 pounds while in the hospital since it was either TPN or nothing. The past few years has been a lot of ER visits and hospital stays for observation (from flare ups), and plenty of doctors visits. Then there have been other health issues that keep popping up. I have no issue talking about what I've gone through and still go through. I even agree with what you said about not wishing this upon anyone. I've said that I don't even wish this upon my worst enemy. It's been hell at times, but I do get strength from God, family and friends.
Oh and crab and lobster! My fave and in small amounts I can do too!!
soooooo good!!
I would have spent the whole summer in the Hamptons if I was you 😊. Have you ever tried that green pasta that’s made from veggies? I love it. Bananas trigger my IBS.
i would have if i could but it's not my house! just a family friend's who is so kind to let us come down for part of the week!
I wasn't sure about it when you posted the video, but I definitely like the longer intro better!
I go for mashed potatoes when all else fails. Because my stomach is not moving at all I can't do gassy veggies like broccoli brussel sprouts peppers because of the build up of gas in the stomach. And I don't care where lobster crab and shrimp come in I'm eating it anyway. 😆
Can Gerd cause delayed gastric emptying ? I know Gastroparesis cause Gerd too
Best to digest for me is white rice, chicken breast, potatoes, peaches worst hot dogs, asparagus, tomato, blueberries, hamburger, pasta
This is really helpful, thank you for posting this!
It's so cray how everyone is so different! I tolerate small amounts of fiber MUCH much better than any kind of higher fat (over 10grams) food.
I was just diagnosed with gp last week and I am having trouble eating anything but boost meal replacement but I just wish their were more resapies about it but happy I found ur channel
Having 87% paralyzed stomach and a stimulator, seafood is my go to. It, for some reason, is easy to digest and I only eat once a day to once every 3 days
No fiber
Little red meat
Low fried foods
Shellfish is best but hard to afford
Don’t eat late at night… You need 2 to 3 hours after a small evening meal before you lay down for sleep. Yes, keep away from fibres (kale is out, brocoli only if in a soup, cooked until falling apart, then puréed, then only sometimes digests). Try not to eat any peels, husks, skins, pods or seeds (certain seeds and softer peels may be alright, depending on person and day). I’ve had Diabetic (type I, early childhood onset) for over 30 years. Interestingly, avocados and olive oil (pure) digest easily for me. But don’t eat avocado if when sliced open it has « strings » near the peeling.
Mmm brownie with Nutella on it. Mmmmmm
I always end up overeating pasta, or it just doesn’t sit well in my stomach, it comes right back up every time!
me too! i guess bc in my head i feel like pasta SHOULD be an easy food but it just isn't
You may want to try some of the pasta’s which are made with chick peas. Wheat can be hard to digest. Also, there are other pasta’s which are gluten free. I still can miss my wheat products at times, but each time I do and allow myself to have some I regret it. The gas pains, the distended tummy, the inability to digest it. As a diabetic it has made it so hard to regulate my sugars. Check out other options for pasta. Some people even like shredded zucchini. I have gotten so used to not being able to eat and/or drive that my life has become rather quiet. A whole new normal for me which I have come to enJOY for the most part. So to all who deal with GP, keep searching for what works for your body until you find GP friendly foods. Give yourself time to adjust as it does get better. For me I no longer have to stress over what to buy at the grocery store, so that is a big plus. Also, I no longer need to be concerned about what car I want to own, and/or insurance, nor maintenance fees. So life is easier with those two stressors no longer rambling around in my brain. I must admit though I do live in a city which provides transportation at minimal cost for those who are disabled. EVERY city should be have this to offer. It makes life easier indeed. May you all enJOY your day and Happy Memorial Day to ALL who have served our country and who continue to keep us safe!!! 🌞🇺🇸
I’m so happy to see this video pop up! I haven’t seen really anyone talk about their experience on RUclips. So super thank you!!!
I was diagnosed too but guess what helped me
PROBIOTICS
My daughter just developed Viral Gasteroparesis. Did yours come on suddenly or after a viral illness?
How is she now, did you find a remedy for gasteroparesis ?
@@OZMAZZ12 now it’s as if she never had it, she is back to normal like before she had GP!
With this condition, even though you just ate , do you have an overwhelming feeling of starvation? My 7 year old eats and eats but sometimes cries out for more and more food, claiming he's starving. We get scared he's going to bust.
yes but also feel so sick at the same time. i always want to eat more
You might want to look into Prader-Willi (PRAH-dur VIL-e) syndrome.
That has happened to me so many times :(. Sometimes I get so hungry I start eating fast and a lot-
This was me as a child. I was undiagnosed until I was 30. I weigh 420 lbs due to this feeling. It's so overwhelming and if you don't eat it feels like your insides are eating itself. I always thought I was just so severely hungry that I was nauseous, but now I realize it was just nausea.
Try giving him a popsicle made with peeled blended fruit. You can find popsicle molds almost anywhere.
I’ve started having soup in the morning. Not Dx yet, but just knowing I meet all the criteria and knowing why I have pots, feel like I’m going to puke all the time, I feel more hopefully now. I got tired of being called anorexic because I had trouble eating sandwiches and hamburgers... makes so much sense why I like pasta so much!
People with gastroparesis are cautioned NOT to eat broccoli that often (or at all, depending on severity of condition) due to the little "buds" on the broccoli being hard to digest. If you eat it often enough, and it doesn't digest, then you can form a belzoar (human-like hairball made of food).
Wow that’s..really scary, I’m 14 and I suspect I may have gastroparesis due to ongoing GI symptoms I’ve been experiencing for almost 3 years now. I really like broccoli so I hope I never have to experience this “human hair ball” thing ☹️
@@fawn9483 Hi. I have severe gastroparesis and I still struggle trying to find foods that are well-balanced and easy to digest even now. I've had it for over 15 years. If you do think you have it, there is a specific test your doctor can order to have done to verify if that's your issue. Naturally, that is something your mom or dad would need to go through with you since you are a minor. It's worth looking into the test since you've stated you've dealt with stomach issues this long. Good luck to you and I hope you get some help solving your medical mystery.
Worst foods for me are gluten (though that's not specific to gastroparesis, that's just an intolerance I have), fatty foods, fibrous foods, and anything that doesn't break down easily (nuts, seeds, corn, etc). Lots of whole grains bother me, especially quinoa. I WANT to eat a healthy diet but it is soooo hard! I tried getting more fruit/veg in my diet and got constipated, despite increasing my fluid intake. So now I'm not sure if I should add in a laxative or just quit trying to eat fiber. I don't throw up anymore now that I've identified all my trigger foods, but I suffer nausea after nearly every meal, which is annoying. One thing that really seems to help my digestion is typical Indian spices (ginger, cumin, turmeric, etc) so I eat a lot of Indian food (homemade, not take out).
I noticed the first food on there for you was a brownie and I understand that completely because I can do cakes really well and things like that they are the easiest thing for me.
I do well with salads & fruits compared to meats. I can also still do dairy but am not a big dairy person so maybe since it’s not constant is why I can. I can’t do protein shakes anymore but I can have a matcha smoothie just as long as it’s not thick. Beans, eggs and oatmeal are still on my yes please list! Soups are my recovery after a harsh bloat. Coffee on a daily feels like death!!
My full day of eating. One can of Campbell's Chicken and Rice Soup. One Watermelon Fruit Popsicle. Water and Sprite.
One can of Campbell's Chicken and Rice Soup. One Watermelon Fruit Popsicle (not sugary kiddie popsicle). Watermelon is the only one that doesn't make my tummy hurt. I've developed a symptom called Brash. It's kind of hard to describe. Drinking water is essential, I have serious kidney disease, but water seems to make me mouth dryer and dryer, then I cough. As I cough I get acid reflux and a kind of mucus (gross, sorry). I can't put any fruit in the water, I can't tolerate even the tablets of the drops to add flavor. The closest I can get to being able to drink water is if I add a couple tbsp of sugar in my water. Crazy. The thing is, when the coughing starts, the acid hits my throat, and I lose my voice, and have real pain in my throat. I've had to start keeping Sprite in my fridge. The carbonation seems to keep the acid reflux, at least during the day.
I cannot eat any fruit, I cannot eat veg other than mashed potatoes. I had COVID in 2020 In Feb, it lasted about 6 weeks, though I'd run fevers at night. COVID robbed me of my one and only food joy left. Ice Cream. I am now lactose intolerant, though I have never been so before. I've been battling mine for about 25 years. The doctors face when he described what they saw when they went to clean up the ulcers and scar tissue, and try to stretch my duodenum said it all. He said it was one of the worst cases he'd ever seen. I was on a liquid diet 6 months, softs for 6 more, then it was add back slowly, small amounts, etc. He never said this was going to be life long. I don't drink caffeine at all, I avoid garlic, onions, spicy foods. I wish he'd told me more. with my Vagus nerve damaged from the ulcers and scarring, I don't know what to do. I loved eating, I love food. I am so glad I lived in Boston and ate so many incredible meals. I used to dream about meat - steaks. Now I dream of fresh fruit. If I had a perfect digestive tract tomorrow, I think I'd eat meat maybe once a week, but I crave Fruit and veg so much, I can't picture it. I can eat Pho, and I can eat sushi. I just don't own a car, and can't afford those dishes. I would be happy with Sushi and Chicken Pho. Sweet Basil Thai Rice. mmmmmm.
Your videos give me hope!
From worst to best foods for my gp (on a good day):
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Oats (and on the same note-granola)
Brown rice
White rice
Soups
Sweet drinks
Broth
Low fat ice cream
Pasta is hit or miss for me. Somehow it goes from best to worst depending on the day. Broccoli I can't eat at all, I always have terrible episodes with broccoli, same with apples. I'm not sure why, but they make my bloating very bad. I can't have sugar at all, always triggers severe episodes :/. i'm gluten free, sugar free, vegan. cutting out sugar changed a lot for me. i syke myself out a lot and buy things i enjoy but ill eat them like a squirrel. i'm trying to not be as stubborn bc the only person i'm hurting is myself !
Izzy, I'd be interested in a video about why you avoid gluten! I have a lot of food allergies (MD-diagnosed and tested) and am wondering if any of my issues might be related to hEDS. Food allergies run on one side of my family, but mine are much worse.
i just have a very mild allergy to wheat + gluten kind of bothers my stomach! if the reasons were more interesting i'd totally make a video on it hahahahah
Oh, that makes sense! I'm glad the allergy isn't too severe. Thanks so much for replying. :)
@Penny Hi, Penny! I'm so sorry I don't know anything about the procedure you had. If you want Izzy K. to see the comment, sometimes it can help to make sure it's not a reply. I don't think I always get notifications of replies on my channels, just the primary comments--for someone with a big channel like hers I would think replies might not be noticed as easily as comments. I hope you're doing okay after your procedure!
My doctor prescribed domperidome from Canada, it helps with food, just eat small amounts. Sometimes I forget and over whelm myself. Puke time. Be careful
Very helpful, thank you!
I cannot do broccoli at all it makes me sick. I can't do anything with seeds either. I love love sushi one of my safe foods along with Avocado and fish chicken and turkey. Can't touch red meat or pork at all
If I got diagnosed with GP, I think it really would explain a lot. However, I am vegan and have actually been doing fine on a vegan diet. It just doesn't matter what I eat, I'll always be bloated and feel sick.
I'm new to this and idk what to eat, I dont want to go to ER again
Spices, and alot of fried stuff set off my flares...then I have to do clear liquids till I settle down, then I go back to solids when better. But its so easy to off the diet. But I think what may work for one person may not for someone else. Eat what works for you. Try to stay away from trigger foods and foods that dont work for you.
Have you tried taking any of the medicine that they prescribed and if so have they helped?
My Diabetic Gastroparesis just got worse a year or so after diagnosis. Really enjoyed the video. Best of luck to us all.
My food stays in my stomach very long but I do feel hungry after an hour or two even though my stomach isn't empty... Is this normal and does someone else has this too??
Thank you for you video I wanted to ask you how you do deal with meats as that's one of my struggles?
Love the video! For me I consume a lot of mashed potatoes. They seem to go down easy for me. I also can't have lettuce of any kind. I am incapacitated the whole day if I have lettuce.
I dont even understand my stomach yet, ive already lost my full bladder. I just know, no matter what I eat I look pregnant and cant eat for another 12 hours or so...then I have to force myself to eat yet I dont loose weight, I'm not trying, then it will go on a tyraid and I eat and I loose it in less than 15 minutes! So I simply hate food. I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist next week.
Hello Lorie.. Thanks for sharing. I also want to know what foods are okay to eat,, what did your gastroenterologist suggest you?
Also walking tends to help as well.
I was really hoping you would explain gastroporosis at some point
Very informative and helpful. I have epilepsy, diabetes, gastroperesis and a few other things. Lol. I can only eat soft foods with no chunks or I spend the day violently vomiting with severe pain. So it's not worth it.
Do u have a support group for those who suffer with chronic illness??
Oh I also have a medical service dog. He's the best. Maybe a service dog could help u?? I actually train service animals.......or I did before my health went very downhill. But I could help u if u r interested.
Great video! I'm just starting my journey to diagnosis after months of vomiting all food and most liquid. I like that you mentioned sometimes liquids just don't jive with your body. Everything I've been reading says sipping on liquid calories is a good idea, but some mornings I will have some sips of water and a couple minutes later it would come back up! (I'd thrown up the night before so my stomach was mostly empty)
It's great to know I'm not alone!
For some reason raw carrot will actually speed up digestion and even cause gastric emptying if I eat too much of it.I’m not sure why. It could be because it’s higher in natural sugar.
I was in your description section before you got into the video, is there a link between gastroparesis and EDS? Ive been diagnosed with hypermobile for almost 30 years.
Is there some sort of doctor we're supposed to see for these sorts of problems? Someone that actually gets it?
Yes, see a Gastroenterologist they specialize in stomach conditions
I recently got Diagnosed with Gastroparesis June 23, 2020 after my Gasto empty study and I have a confusing issue with food to where I take zofran at night to sleep. I'm confused and scare and don't know how to heal or what to do. I feel like I can't be happy with this
Same
Yeah idc what anyone says there’s no way we can have a happy life with this
Brownies is a no no for me cus causes bad sulfer burps I'm still learning what works
Just found out that I have gp yesterday, thank u for the food advice!
I cant do tea either!! I have no earthly idea why lol but gp is super weird
SO weird
Does your gastroparesis cause certain foods to give you headaches? Just curious.
