I have struggled with gastroparesis for a year and a half. I am a normal to overweight person, but because of GP i cannot get proper nutrition. Every time I eat i am extremely nauseous and in pain, then the bloating comes. I have lost 15 pounds in two weeks. what do i do? would a feeding tube benefit me? how would i go about it? i dont want a tube at all, i just want to live my life. thanks all
How do I get proper help. I have been to two family medicine providers, both just putting me on meds that don’t do anything. I have to wait until June to see GI. I have lost 15 pounds in two weeks. I am at a normal/overweight weight so nutritional help doesn’t seem to matter?? I don’t throw up often but I have extreme pain and nausea. I can’t wait till mid June.
I have been on an all liquid diet, extremely dehydrated and malnourished for two weeks. My primary doesn’t know what to do at this point. For what its worth, what could i gain from the ER? I know I will get hydrated via IV which is helpful, but I am much more than dehydrated hahah.
