Had to get a gi referral, then they had to do an endoscopy and then they ordered a gastric emptying study from the hospital.

I had an upper endoscopy done, my doctor talked to me about still having food in my stomach after fasting, then put me on the gastroparesis diet... it's helping but I always feel I don't end up with solid answers. I want to look into the gastric emptying study.

exactly my same situation! I haven’t been on the gastroparesis diet yet, but I am talking to my doctors about starting that tomorrow. I’m probably going to do the gastric emptying study sometime in May.

GI referral, got an endoscopy and MRE done before they ordered a gastric emptying study. Delayed emptying was present so my gi diagnosed me and referred me to a motility team.

I had go to through multiple doctors before I got a diagnosis. Had multiple procedures done before they found anything. Upper endoscopy, gastric emptying study, blood work.
