Struggling with Digestive Issues

The only thing that actually helped me is when I went to a registered dietitian in 2013 who was not familiar with gastroparesis. But, she went and educated herself about this condition and really helped me set up a food plan that would help me. I knew most of it but was able to help me change up the routine. Small meals 3-5 meals each day. It keeps the metabolism higher and then I actually started to lose weight finally and not feel sick. Eating at home and making all the meals (most of the time) really works. Eating in restaurants are really bad For our condition. I can go on and on about it since I’ve had it for the last 25 years. If anyone wants more info or has questions please feel free to contact me. It is lonely when most people don’t understand we can’t eat what normal people eat everyday. I’m tired explaining to them. So happy I just found this group.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I am sick to my stomach pretty much ALL THE TIME. I won't eat much for days then my hub forces me to eat something. I've gained so much weight due to gastroparesis. I even weaned myself off of my antidepressant bc I thought I'd lose some weight. Nope! I also have cyclic vomiting disorder. Hmmm. 🤔.
