Gastroparesis Treatment: Self-Care for Gastroparesis
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- In this video, I talk about my own experience with gastroparesis and how I learned to best manage my symptoms and improve my quality of life (when medication didn't help). I also share the concept of the "comprehensive management plan," which helps everything -- including medical treatment -- work better, and explain the self-care aspects.
I got Gastroparesis when the doctor removed my gallbladder. My stint got stuck and they had to go in and get it out. It had caused pancretitus when it was happening. The doctor never told me I had it till 3 years later. I am so miserable having it. Its been 7 years now. I will try to do your self-care to help.
I just got diagnosed with Gastroparesis. I have just started to learn about this disease, so for right now I am going to focus on really taking my time and chewing my food a lot slower, that's going to be my first self-help! Thank you!
I was diagnosed on April of 2017. I wad balling my eyes out cause I knew what lied ahead for me. I have tried everything and getting to a point where am just done. I also found out that my gallbladder is not working right. Having this condition is hard. I hate this. But I know that I can over come this.
Tiffany Wolcott hi Tiffany I’m curious to know how are you doing? My son just got diagnosed this past May and he is finding it very hard to deal with this. My poor baby is 24 and diabetic. I’ve been reaching out to everyone hoping for a miracle we just don’t know about. I am so scared for my son.
@@angelinavaldovinos5352 How is your son?
I was diagnosed over a year ago with a sever case. I have a lap band from 8 years ago, but they believe mine is from diabetes (or both) I am going in Tuesday to have it removed. The surgeon told me they seem to be having some success for people with gastroperethes by doing a "sleeve" procedure that is taking the place of the lap band for weight control. basically they cut out part of the stomach and make the rest a straight shot tube to the upper intestine, therefore there is nowhere for the food to just set. Anyway I'm trying to get relief. I'm a pastor and today I got the dry heaves during the Sunday School Service. (been on Ensure only for the past 2 days getting ready for the surgery). While he is in there, he will be looking for Bezoars just in case. You are right in your previous videos, few people have heard of this and I get tired of the "Oh you should just eat this" when you can't eat anything.
Hi! The sleeve needs some research...surgery on the GI tract can worsen GP. If you have it from vagus nerve damage due to diabetes, it may not work. Has your doc talked about the Enterra neurostimulator at all? Medically I'm treated with nausea meds, IV fluids and J tube feeds...most of the time I'm allowed to have stuff by mouth if I want, but the amount I eat or drink vastly varies.
Yes he spoke about the stimulation implant, but he is against it, stating it doesn't do much good (according to him). He is pretty young but he has talked with me more than my last Doctor. He just told me 2 weeks ago "there's nothing else I can do, you need to see a surgeon." But now none will see me until I get the lap band out.
Hi, i am encourage with your comment. I had diabétic for 35 years and 3years ago i am suffering from gastropheris i would like know more about the diet thanks
My doctor will not order the stomach emptying test for me. She said the test is only for her diabetic patients. How did you get the test?
We think My wife has this. Where can I go to help her?
I have been dealing with this and ulcerative colitis for years puking alot and no stop stomach pain and seen so many doctors horrible and painful disease
too much useless talk come to the point
I need help I have this 6 weeks
so many useless videos, people complaining they have it, so this makes finding videos about a CURE or what effective works so much harder... youtube filtering is not helping a dot
this one here is to promote her books, practise....
any useful info in this video ?
There is no cure, so I don't recommend searching for one if what you have is truly Gastroparesis. We can manage/lessen symptoms though.
Which symptom is bothering you the most?
Currently I'm working on cutting down bloating so I can share what's working for me...
Bloat: Start eating one food at a time. For example, all day yesterday I ate nothing but apple sauce all day. No bloat.
Next day, eat nothing but applesauce + beef. No bloat.
Etc etc. In this way you can identify exactly which foods give you bloat and which are safe. It will build up to a full diet. On day three you can eat applesauce, beef and one more thing. If no bloat then on day four you now have 3 safe things to eat + one new.
As soon as the bloat returns you know you've identified a food that's not safe.
Toss it and go on to the next day.
So far these are the foods that have turned out safe for me: unsweetened apple sauce, Gatorade, canned pears, Ritz bits cheese sandwiches, chocolate cake, fat free milk, captain crunch crunchberry cereal, chocolate flavor soylent.
Foods that caused pain/bloat/vomitting: strawberry jam, wheat bread, scrambled eggs, special K red berry.
Hope that helps!
