      Someone needs to let Mickey know Gastroparesis comes from T1D. Honestly I am not a doctor but yes I am smart enough to be one. If gastroparesis comes out of nowhere it is weird. Sometimes...... these diseases do come out of nowhere.

      I hope with all my heart Mickey gets the help she needs and my name is Jacqueline and I was born at 24 weeks early........ I have the same tragic as she does and I have never been diagnosed or treated.

      It is sad because the doctors in Missouri........ well most of them are ignorant Jehovah's Witnesses.

      Jehovah's Witnesses wouldn't treat anyone with disabilities and they would turn a disabled persons life into hell. Every rare disease that someone thinks about everyday it's growing.......... people say let's just kill these children or disabled adults.

    Thank you for sharing your story! I was just diagnosed with Gastroparesis, Gastritis, an Esophageal ulcer and the beginning stages of Diverticulitis. They also reconfirmed my diagnoses of IBS and GERD. These diagnoses are on top of my already very long list of other chronic illnesses. If we could find a cure for just ONE of my chronic illnesses that'd be AMAZING!! Keep hangin' in there and don't ever give up! Praying for you and for a cure!

    Hey there!! I was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis after struggling with the symptoms for about 3 years without the doctors being able to figure out my condition. I was on homebound for a majority of this time. I was lucky enough to finally find the gastroenterologist that could diagnose me. I just wanted to thank you for making these videos.

      Hi Ashley! I will be praying for you and every gastroparesis patient! God knows your pain and struggle, trust me. He loves us regardless of how we might feel about Him. I have suffered with unknown GI condition for 9 months now. Every other week a trip to ER, have seen every possible doctor, my anxiety and depression caused by thoughts of hopelessness and impending doom were out of control. Seeing me doctors would just say I have anxiety problems and put me on meds, but I knew something happened in March in my body that caused all of this problems. I am not going to give up because I am a single mom and my son needs me. I insisted on second opinion from a different GI and waiting for that appointment in a few weeks. For right now, I'm almost 100% sure I have gastroparesis and got myself on a liquid, puree- kind of diet. When I get flared, I almost cannot breathe at all which causes severe panick attacks. The breathing became the major thing that at times drives me totally nutts, but there are episodes when it gets so much worse that I even start thinking of taking my life. It's only Jesus who carries me through this trial because no doctor or human understands what I am going through! If you have any tips on diet or lifestyle, please share. God bless all of you who suffers from this debilitating, merciless, and disabling condition. You are never alone! Reach out for help, don't walk this journey on your own.

Thanks for sharing your story! At first I thought all these symptoms were all in My head and I was going crazy as nobody seems to have any Idea but I found a GI that is really good. I’m just glad to know if it is GP I’m not alone and I’m not losing My mind that there is a reason for all My symptoms! I know you filmed this a few years ago but still thanks for sharing your story!

Even though you didn't throw up from it at the time you wrote this, did you get a diagnosis for it? And if so, what were your treatment options, if you don't mind. I know not every Gastroparesis patients vomits, but I feel so hopeless because I don't. I almost feel like I'm not sick enough for people to care even tho the pain, nausea, feeling like I'm going to/need to throw up, pressure, and cramping are miserable. I have a GI appointment, but I'm just scared they won't believe me😅

      @@justanothertypicalartist3884 Omg I totally forgot about this comment ! A lot of things happened since I wrote that. First of all, yes I did get diagnosed with GP ! I was also diagnosed with CIPO (my main disease) and EDS. Sadly I can't really help you, as my main treatment is.. being NPO. But I'm not really NPO due to GP ; I am because of intestinal failure (caused by CIPO). After losing almost 30kg a GI team put me on tube feeds (NG tube) but I wasn't tolerating feeds and wasn't absorbing anything so we did a gastric emptying scan, manometry studies and switched to TPN after it revealed full intestinal failure. But I'm not sure if this story can help you ! I'm very sorry ! If this can help you, I take metoclopramide 3x/day, "Spasfon" 3x/day (I searched for the UK/US equivalent and I think it's called Buscopan! Idk if this can help..) This + my NG tube to drain my stomach when needed. I honestly don't know if it helps my GP, but it's way more manageable now !
      Anyway.. I wish I could help you more, I know how horrible GP is ! I hope you'll get some answers soon and finally get a treatment that works for you ! If you need anything, you can always contact me ! (Here's my Instagram acc, so if you need anything, you can always dm me : it's @ _atomic_skyy)

      I just feel so hopeless and have been lead to believe that it's all in my head. So to hear someone else struggle the way I am gives me hope that something can be done for me and reassurance that I'm not making it up (even tho I know I'm not). I hope I get some answers and treatments as well. I've reached a point where I'm not able to do it on my own anymore.

    I have a lot of these similar symptoms, I've always had stomach issues and for the last 2-3 weeks I puke, dry heave, get severe nausea, and have acid reflux after eating literally anything. It's absolutely awful, even after eating a small bowl of cereal today, I was retching and had to lie down for literally 2 hours because I was so nauseous and kept dry heaving. I do have many symptoms of POTS and hEDS but haven't been diagnosed. It's so hard because I feel so hungry and I want to eat (even though I get full or sick after a few bites) but I know that if I do, I'll be recovering from a small meal for hours and it just doesnt seem worth it. I want to see a GI doctor I'm just terrified that they will tell me that nothing is wrong or nothing will show up on tests. I dont know what to do 😔

    Good job showing people what GP is like. I have GP and CIIPO which is the added complexity of constant bowel obstructions. Think of it like full digestive paralysis. I have found it's all about attitude. Some days are better than others and some days I handle it better than others. I always think of this, "If everyone had to put all their problems in a pile, and each person got to select a new one from the pile, they'd probably take their original one back!" I can think of a whole lot of them that are much worse! Hang in there!

    They use Domperidone in pediatric patients. You are 16 anyway so two years won't make much of a difference, it is worth a try if you can get off tube feeds potentially or at least decrease your needs for tube feeds (Meaning less time being hooked up to a feeding pump). I also have EDS and Gastropareis but my motility issues are a way more widespread and severe. I am 18 and I have Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia , Hypothyroidism, Central Adrenal Insufficiency, Widespread Joint Instability, Scoliosis, Chronic Pain, Low Vit D, Raynauds Syndrome, Colonic Inertia, Small Intestinal Dysmotility, Gastroparesis, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, Pancreatic Insuffiencey, and Esophageal Spasms. So no matter what we fix my motility issues are so widespread that I will probably always need a form of nutritional support. These issues have significantly altered my life to the point where I am reliant of over 20 medication, braces, tube feedings, and now TPN (also known as IV nutrition) to get me through the day. I am currently 100% dependent on 2.5 liters of TPN for my nutrition and hydration and I have been on TPN for a bit over 3 months now. One of the benefits for me is that I have been getting 2.5 liters of IV fluids each day so my Dysautonomic symptoms have improved. I had an NJ tube for 7 months from January 2017 to the end of July 2017 and it was taken out because my nose and throat could no longer handle the irritation. The current plan is for me to get a permanent feeding tube in hopes of getting of TPN or at least less dependent on TPN. My EDS started with dislocations and now I dislocate and sublux over 150+ times a day and I have chronically dislocated joints. Then I started having heart issues and Dysautonomic issues and hormone problems. Then lastly GI issues which have been ruling my life for the past 8 months now. When I first diagnosed with EDS I never anticipated how bad it was going to get for me, I thought I can deal with dislocations but then the heart issues started and hormonal issues. Which lead to my first hospitalization, I was able to only be in the hospital once a year for a week at a time up until this year. When my GI issues started I could still eat not comfortably but I could eat at least, my GI issues spiraled out of control at the beginning of this year and I was hospitalized in the first week of January, I had quite a few good months on my NJ tube then I had surgery which further triggered my GI system and now I have been hospitalized a total of 4 times this year adding up to 37 days already. A year ago I was considered the worst effected patients almost all of my doctors had ever seen by EDS, they had seen other patients before but with much milder involvement. I wonder what they would consider me now considering how much I have gone down hill. Also just something to say is that the amount of gastric delay usually doesn't effect how symptomatic you are, even just a tiny bit of delay can cause severe symptoms.

I am 44 and 184 after 4 children 3 csections inwhich made my stomach issues 6 x worst. I now use a hot water enima bag, laxitive tea, calm, and complete plant based diet. Some, days are better then others, but if i eat like a normal person or too late at night I will look like I am having twins and will hurt like labor pains. I seen a gi dr had colon oscopies y have leaky gut docters would say, and eat more vegetables. My diet consists of vegetables, I excersice dance, run, skate, bike, and swim and I am still obese. I excersice 3 times a day and cut my own lawn.The amount of physical activity I do I should be 90 pounds Question, what. docter should I go to w my stomach issues I am not a diabetic or have any health issues other then what i discussed.

    I got Domperidome from Canada, also but it did not help. I get dehydrated easily and am so depressed by now from the vomiting and pain, constipation that I am ready to die. You look great, by the way! The tube you have, does it help well? Is this my future, as well? I might have some hope, huh?

    They think I might have GP, I’m trying to get in with a GI doc about it so I haven’t had a GES yet. I have most of the symptoms and it’s getting really bad (only tolerating liquids right now and I legit collapsed today). I don’t have as many issues with actually vomiting as most people seem to? If I do it’s usually puking in my mouth really frequently (not reflux) but never really vomiting? But the nausea and early fullness and oh my god the stomach cramps are horrible. Plus when I do puke it’s foods that I ate at least 5 or 6 hours prior.
    I’m just worried that a doc won’t take it seriously if I’m not puking everywhere? Does regular vomiting (more than just puking in your mouth) have to be an issue for it so actually be considered? I didn’t think it would but all the people with GP i’ve talked to said that their main issue was vomiting... I haven’t been able to handle more than 500 cal max every day for the past week now and I’m handling less and less each day. It’s making my POTS sooo hard to deal with

    Hello I’ve been having stomach problems for a while and it’s always been put down to IBS or anxiety. I get really bad bloating, stomach cramps and stabbing pains. I empty my bowels every 3-5 days and it super painful and there is some bleeding. I can’t eat big meals and if I do I get pain and bloating. I feel full quickly which I think stops me from eating as much, but I have to force myself to eat because I have had a past of anorexia, but some days I just don’t think I can eat. I don’t throw up. I also think I have PoTS because I have increased heart rate, shortness of breath, dizziness, shaking, and it goes on. Could I possibly have these and is it possible that they can link ? I just need someone to actually take me seriously xxxx

      This is EXACTLY my position. No one takes me seriously, a past of anorexia and orthistatic symptoms. I'm so tired of people saying it's heartburn and that it's better with low blood pressure than high and grin idiotically! Is it as good to have constant tachycardia while standing and your lowest pressure when exercising??
      I don't vomit either, and I eat normally. My past anorexia prevents me from NOT eating, so I have no choice. But definitely ajusting meassures and what kind of food depending on my stomach. Right now I have sharp pain in my lower stomach and bloated and uncomfortable. But I'm so used to it I hardly even notice. My life has been like this the latest 5 years, and I just think I ate too much and that's where my problems come from, but even when I drink water I get symptoms, and that can't be normal, can it??

    Hi. I have had gastroparesis for about 10 plus years. In the last 2 years it’s got so much worse I have done Botox it was absolutely pointless. I have been on meds for it and they no longer work. Last June I got the gastric stimulater which worked a little I felt better for a while but then I was sick again. Now I have a gtube for emtying I can still eat some foods. But the tube is bring my self esteem down I don’t want to go anywhere do anything I have no energy to do anything. I have been reading about the gastric bypas. Good and bad things about it. My main concern is that I will lose to much weight and there is only a 50/50 chance that this can work. And that I will now become anemic. I have been watching a lot of videos about Gastroparesis. And I’m so confused

      The study is a small amount of soft food mixed with radioactive material. They gave me some eggs which seems to be pretty standard, I imagine eggs would pass through the stomach pretty easily. But the eggs were powdered and without any seasoning. So nasty. I threw up halfway through eating and had to tap out but sure enough, 4 hours later and there were still radioactive eggs in my stomach. An actual episode is a horse of a different color.

      @@aurorabalouchhukkelberg9252 It was pretty awful. I managed to get some down then threw up. Had to stop to take a zofran. Then I ate maybe 2-3 spoonfuls before I had to stop. I've always liked eggs but it's been over a year and I sometimes still get grossed out when I see scrambled eggs. But my doctors needed to be sure about what was going on and this is an easy and accurate way to prove if the stomach is emptying too slowly. I somehow found a way to force myself through the test. I figured that if I got sick and spoiled the test I'd just get sent back again and again until my insurance approved that pill that you swallow that electronically tracks where it is in the digestive system - but my insurance sucks and there's no telling how many times I would have had to eat the eggs again.
