Dealing with Stomach Issues: Should I See a Gastroenterologist or My Geneticist?

Hey! I hear you! I have this same issue. I tried everything from nausea meds to scopolamine patches. They did nothing and made my vision worse. I ended up malnutritioned and only a few months left going down that road, until my mother went ahead and did the unthinkable. She gave me marijuana. It shot my quality of life up exponentially. I could drink water were I couldnt before, and eat foods that weren't okay I'm my stomach before. I've suffered from this since I was a kid but never got diagnosed until 2016. My mother thought I had cancer until it all went into remission. My GI doctor was ready to give me experimental meds that would have made my intestines die off. The best thing I can say is go to a doctor what specializes in marijuana. Get a card and get your life back in your hands. It wasnt fair how I had to live and it definitely isn't fair how you have to. We as humans are meant to conquer the world. Not have it crush us. ❤

I am so sorry. I 100% recommend going to a GI, and see if your geneticist can recommend someone who is familiar with gastroparesis. I would also ask for the TrioSmart home test that your doctor can order to test for SIBO as well.
