#gi stuff

I may have pissed off a wizard or even a warlock in my lifetime

I have a diagnosis!! I just got off the phone with my GI doctor. I had my educated suspicions, and I was right. He went over the gastric emptying study with me, and I do have gastroparesis. I don’t have diabetes (the most common cause), so I’m one of those random unknown cause cases. Now it’s not severe, as my stomach empties like it should by the four-hour mark, but it is emptying much slower at two hours. At two hours it’s at 73% and it should be below 60%. I have to try to eat less fat and eat less soluble fiber. The doctor also wrote me a script for Reglan, which will help with both nausea and increasing gastric motility. Fingers crossed!!

I’ve been sick three times today. So far. I’m so tired of this. My body hurts and I’m exhausted. 😔
