before seeing my geneticist who tested me for EDS and getting the second official HSD Dx, my rheumatologist did a physical exam where I was also hypermobile outside of beighton (this test is so outdated and the community hates it, HSD AND EDS together) including other joints, spine and even the arches of my feet collapse when I stand showing that my connective tissue is faulty. For gastroparesis I definitely am a bit more severe, I constantly was having trouble with vomiting and never ate nearly as much growing up, it was painful after a few bites. I finally got a gastric emptying study done about a year ago that showed gastroparesis of liquids slowed down to about a two hour emptying time compared to what should be 30-60 minutes. I'm medicated now and do frequent snacking high calorie diet to keep my weight up :) your symptoms definitely sound GP-ish and if your struggling with them I would talk to a doctor about if it could be GP or if it could be something else, like I recently found I also have IBS. But usually they do a solid foods emptying study, at the time I had trouble keeping down foods without meds so I think they wanted to be safe with liquids. And thank u the degree is pretty cool I could do lots with it and the thought makes me very happy :))))
