      @CranberryDry exactly my same situation! I haven’t been on the gastroparesis diet yet, but I am talking to my doctors about starting that tomorrow. I’m probably going to do the gastric emptying study sometime in May.

      I went to my doctor who referred me to a GI Dr. I did an ultrasound, blood work, endoscopy, x-rays, gastric emptying test.

      I had go to through multiple doctors before I got a diagnosis. Had multiple procedures done before they found anything. Upper endoscopy, gastric emptying study, blood work.

      GI referral, got an endoscopy and MRE done before they ordered a gastric emptying study. Delayed emptying was present so my gi diagnosed me and referred me to a motility team.

      I had an upper endoscopy done, my doctor talked to me about still having food in my stomach after fasting, then put me on the gastroparesis diet... it's helping but I always feel I don't end up with solid answers. I want to look into the gastric emptying study.
