Has Anyone been To G-Pact.org ?

Has anyone been to G-pact.org ? This is a site for Gastroparesis /CIP. Very helpful. They also are on facebook. If you search for Gastroparesis.
In regards, to recipes, I find that when I cannot eat which
occurs alot , I mix unflavored or vanilla yogurt with a little orange juice , a scoop of whey protein and some
fruit and ice into a smoothie, and I not only feel full, but it gives me energy. I stay on it for awhile, until I feel like
I can eat again, and start off with purees and liquids
then work my way up. I know I have to do this quite regularly. but if I did not , I would be sick from trying to eat everyday.

I posted this under Gastroparesis/CIP Help in the "In Coping with chronic illness" section. I also posted it some place else on the site but can't remember where. G-Pact helped me so much
********************************************************************
Check out the website G-PACT (Gastroparesis Patient Association for Cures/Treatments). There is a lot of info. www.g-pact.org. They also have Free Personalized Restaurant Cards. G-PACT has created personalized medically necessary discount restaurant cards. These cards are the size of business cards and give a brief overview of gastroparesis and CIP. The card requests that GP/CIP sufferers be allowed to order off the child's or senior's menu, share a plate with another customer, or receive a substantial discount on another meal due to diet restrictions and need for smaller portions. These are FREE to anyone with GP or CIP. All you do is send a self-addressed stamped envelope, and they will mail the card to you within two weeks.
Send an envelope and request to:

Yes, they're very helpful. I've had their resturant card for about a year. They also sent me a bunch of informational packets that I told into my GI & told him he ought to hand out to his patients when he diagnoses them with GP rather than just sending the one page diet out along with a referral to a nutritionist!

I concur that this is a very good site. I have gone to it many a time in the past since my diagnosis, and have always found it to be most helpful and the people behind it very compassionate. Thanks for mentioning this to the group. It certainly has been a blessing to me, and I hope it will be so to many others.
