Looking for Support with Gastroparesis Diagnosis

Hi my name is natalie and I am almost 18 and was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2021. I was also diagnosed with all the other disorders listed recently, but my biggest struggle is my gastroparesis. I would love to connect with anyone that is going through anything similar and has any information about my disorders.

Hey Natalie, I’m Elizabeth. But you can call me Liz 🤗 . I was diagnosed with gastroparesis back in 2014 but did not start having symptoms until 2020. So far it’s been a lot of downs … coupled with chronic gastritis , I ended up losing 50lbs in 3 months, with 3 hospitalizations lasting 3-6 days . It’s nice to know there are people who understand what I am going through and that I’m not “faking it “ 😥

Hi, thank you for the response. I'm learning out to find a community online of people who have gastroparesis as well. It's definitely been helping knowing there are other people out there who understand what im going through.

Hey Natalie and welcome. I’m dealing with gastroparesis for the last 3 years. There are good and bad days. The thing that really helps me is knowing that I’m not alone with a “unicorn” disease, and that there are other people like me
