Sole-source nutrition is hurting me, what do I do?

I am on sole-source nutrition (orally) and it really hurts. I’m scared it was the wrong choice, but I burned my last bridge with my PCP to get it. What do I do?

Are you working with a GI?

No, been though like 5. The most recent, the guy from Tufts, didn’t believe I could possibly know anything about my body. Also didn’t want to accept that stomach acid meds weren’t working.

don’t know if you’ve tried this yet, but I use the motility center at BIDMC. Dr. Iturrino Moreda I adore and she actually is the one who diagnosed my gastroparesis after like 4 GIs were clueless. If she’s full I’ve heard her colleagues are just as good.

yw! They have a bit of a wait, but it was totally worth it imo. They’ve been so lovely and got to the bottom of it. I also got a ton of good recommendations for diet, meds, etc from them. 10/10 experience
