I wanted to...I guess sort of say goodbye? To the gastroparesis community here. I was diagnosed with it in June. I last got sick in July, and stopped following the advice from my diabetes educator (the ONLY one who even gave me any that made the least sense, and the only one who actually knows anything about it, as he sees at least 1 GP patient per week) after only a couple of weeks. When I went back to him 6 weeks later and told him my story, he says it doesn't sound at all like GP, but like a beef sensitivity! I no longer eat more than a small amount of beef, and feel normal. I suspect I either do have mildly slow emptying (my tests showed it was slow, but not a heck of a lot), but normally without symptoms--so probably just normal for me--or when I was given the test it was a bad time, and my stomach was recovering from a bad fight with beef, and isn't normally slow. I can't verify it. Paying for another test at this point doesn't seem worthwhile. Anyway, I felt I should adjust my settings here to reflect this, and I will no longer match with some of the GP community. I will still keep GP in my mind, always hoping for decent treatments and a cure. It's a terrible diagnosis, and the one thing in my life I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I'm so sorry anyone ever has it.
