Was at the Hospital today

:bulletred:  They think I may have gastroperesis.

"Gastroparesis is a condition in which the muscles in your stomach don't function normally.

Ordinarily, strong muscular contractions propel food through your digestive tract. But in gastroparesis, the muscles in the wall of your stomach work poorly or not at all. This prevents your stomach from emptying properly. Gastroparesis can interfere with digestion, cause nausea and vomiting, and cause problems with blood sugar levels and nutrition.

There is no cure for gastroparesis. Making changes to your diet may help you cope with gastroparesis signs and symptoms, but that's not always enough."


Fantastic.
In other words, I hope I don't have that or I'll suffer with this pain for the rest of my life. Testing for it Monday. They're making me eat some food and they're going to stalk my stomach with an xray machine for four hours.

Hopefully its not that Dx; I heard the medication is painful. Other than that though - its better than stomach or pancreatic cancer, which they thought I originally had.

If its not that, they want to open me again like they did last August to get more biopsies of my stomach lining.

I'm really hoping to hear some good news about this soon! Q__Q
I hope that's not what you have, but you're right, looking on the bright side.... it's not the worst it could be... but still hoping it's something much simpler to fix!

I had this for awhile too, and I still have problems with stomach ulcers as well. The toughest part for me was finding foods my stomach could handle, and then do the same process each week. My stomach kept changing it's mind.. D:
I'm sure you'll be fine. Even with tummy problems, there's medications out there that help with the pain. Gaviscon works exceptionally well. When my stomach would bleed, they put me on a super thick paste I had to swallow that would line my stomach walls and keep it from hurting for a few hours. But it also coats your mouth so you can't taste anything.. QnQ
Keep your head up, don't think the worst, and you'll be just fine. You have the support of your friends with you.
