New Gastroenterologist Doesn't Believe I Have Gastroparesis

i would seek out a second opinion. you need a doctor who you can trust! don’t settle for less than you deserve. it’s hard, believe me i know! i think that the emptying scan will definitely help corroborate your condition, but honestly it sounds like you may just not have a good fit with this doctor.

So sorry you’re dealing with this! I agree that you should have the scan done if you haven’t had it done before. Then I would find another doctor who has a better understanding. My PCP has a great understanding of GP, so don’t be afraid to look at doctors who aren’t specialists, they might surprise you. Always look at their bio on the clinic website and see if it mentions things they have special knowledge of. Don’t be afraid to call the office and ask to talk to the doctor’s nurse and gauge if they will be a good fit for you. Finding new doctors are hard, and finding one who doesn’t fit is even harder - keep your head up 💕

The good news is once you have the gastric emptying done, you can just take that to another gi My GI is dropping me after 3 years to a less specialized one, I threw a fit and the earliest they could get me in was end of March . I think that Dr wasn't a right set up for you and unfortunately I wasn't feeling what the director wanted me bdied
