I realize I'm not as sick as some. I didn't realize Gastroparesis was such a serious disease. My story is that about a year or so ago, as I was drinking coffee in the am, every once in awhile I would get very nauseated and for what I thought was no reason at all I would vomit. I made an appointment with a gastro doc and had a upper GI scope done. They found that my stomach contents weren't totally empty even though I had fasted for the time they told me too and decided I had Gastroparesis. I also have Diverticulosis, I found that out during a colonoscopy. And I am prediabetic. They put me on Reglan (which fortunately I haven't any problems with) and sent me home. I have never seen anyone regarding my diet (which isn't very good, I eat from the looks of things all the things bad for me) I thought because I have so many problems with my BM's that fiber was great for me, so I eat lots of high fiber food, I am overweight, and I continue to overeat obviously all the wrong type of foods. I've never even thought much about my diet. Last night when I found this group, I came home from work feeling uncomfortably full. My husband was going to make me a Boca burger on one of those sandwich thins with all the trimmings. I should have been a little hungry, but when I got home, I realized I wasn't and that there was no way I could eat anything. I felt full up into my throat. I had eaten lunch ( a smart one meal from WW and 6 mini candy bars, 3 mini paydays, so I still eat nuts) at 2PM, so by 7 I should have been a little hungry. This concerned me, so I looked up web sites and found this one. For the most part I function very well, I don't have a lot of problems with my health issues....except I sleep a lot! I'm tired quite a bit and if I don't take my Reglan which on occasion I don't because if I'm not working the next day I sort of take my chances with nausea, to save on pills. RX are costly. Every once in a while I will get sick, but not often. I'm sorry, I know this is letter is kind of put together badly, so I hope you can get the gist of what I'm writing. I guess, I am concerned and wonder why no one has ever wanted to follow up with this problem with me? Do any of you have a mild case like me, so many sound so ill, I'm so sorry.
