I was diagnosed 3 years ago. Still a lot of trial and error though. I seem to respond best to carbs and almost nothing else haha good luck on your procedure!

I have gastroparesis too! Good luck with your procedure. I had a gastric pacemaker put in and it has been amazing with helping my symptoms

I just got diagnosed with gastroparesis. I could use as much help and advice as anyone has to offer! Just started meal replacements yesterday… I lost 50 pounds in a few short months because of this. Any help is appreciated

Hi Alyssa! I'm also 21 living with gastroparesis. I've been dealing with symptoms my whole life pretty much. I'd love to chat sometime.

Hi I'm 25 - was only diagnosed with gastroparesis last year but have been having symptoms since I was 14 (unfortunately was diagnosed with coeliac disease around the same time so my symptoms were put down to a mixture of that and EDS). Have since also been told I have intestinal failure. Have had both a venting PEG and a jejunostomy tube inserted since diagnosis - what procedure are you having? Good luck!
