Well glad she is feeling better. It's tough when you are stressed and traveling. I wonder if it was the alcohol that caused the flare-up? Maybe try a nonalcohol version next time? When I am not feeling good I have found that physical activity is the best way to overcome the discomfort. "Walking it off" almost always works for me.
I'm thinking it might be like having a period, we can't completely control the pain but we can still go about our lives and pretend things are otherwise normal...
Hi Alissa! I don't know exactly how I described it in the video but the way I see it now, it's not even about pretending things are normal. It's more like there's our experience of life, going on as it always does, and then there's this thing we call gastroparesis and the two are independent, like parallel train tracks. We think it's "gastroparesis" that we're experiencing as life moves along but it's really our thoughts and feelings about gastroparesis, which are always changing. So we don't have to pretend we're not experiencing whatever we are experiencing but the key is in knowing that we're _not_ experiencing "gastroparesis." The freedom in that is really huge because our general well-being, our experience of life, no longer depends on "fixing" or perfectly managing this process going on in our body. If any part of that resonates with you, definitely stick around and watch some of the other recent videos I've posted!
Hi, Mikhail. Hopefully I'm interpreting your question correctly -- let me know if not. When I was diagnosed with gastroparesis, I was working in fundraising for a non-profit organization. I took a couple years off when I was struggling the most physically and emotionally, and then I went back to school and have been practicing as health coach helping others with gastroparesis since 2010.
@@csaltrelli your video is very helpful. You've done a great job. I also downloaded your recipes book. I living in Kazakhstan and there are nobody with gastroparethesis to ask. Thank you a lot for your answers. I have Ulcerative colitis from 2013. All this time I worked. From 2020 because of stress I got issues it's called - slow stomach motility and malfunction in work of gall bladder. Your life is great indicator that we can live normally with our diseases.
