Has anyone any experience with Gastroparesis?

Hiya,

I've had gut problems for years but it never was enough of a problem for me to visit the doctors and I always thought it was a reflux issue.

A couple of days ago when googling relfux issues, it didn't quite fit and I came across gastroparesis which I think is more likely the issue.

I may go to the doctor about it at some point but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with it or knows anything about it?

Hi there I am interested in what you have said, does gastro paresis cause weight gain, due to slow metabolism? I was told I had Dysbiosis but have been on meds for gp.

The thing is most of their methods to diagnose include swallowing radio active substances which I'd rather avoid. Then once diagnosed there's the option of drugs or diet change - I wouldn't go for the drugs option anyway and would opt for diet change - I've already changed my diet in response to the pain and being sick over the years so I'm skipping the whole chemical part and concentrating on diet.

I was just wondering if anyone could teach me more about gastroparesis and their experience.
