Living with Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder in which the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. Normally, the stomach contracts to move food down into the small intestine for digestion. The vagus nerve controls the movement of food from the stomach through the digestive tract. Gastroparesis occurs when the vagus nerve is damaged and the muscles of the stomach and intestines do not work normally. Food then moves slowly or stops moving through the digestive tract.

I really know how you feel with having Gatroparesis. I have it also. In and out the hospital and emergency rooms gets so frustrating, just to find that nothing is working.

May God continue to give you all the strength to get through this (including others who commented that have this or something similar). This is just a testament you just don't know what a person is going through. In deed you all are beautiful, God will fix it. It just all in God's timing. I know it has to be hard, but continue to push on; and when feeling down or bad tell the devil he's a liar. My God can do all things! You all will be in my thoughts & prayers. Be blessed withing the Lord.
