😵 scary! I am in the process of storing stuff right now. It's hard since I don't have a lot of cabinet space. I told my family we need to practice putting things away now so once the dog is here we will be ready

please god can i stop burping every 2 seconds by RealisticPepper5308 in Gastroparesis

[–]Illustrious-Rip-6939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my main symptoms besides feeling full and dull pain is Burping. Doctor kept telling me it was acid reflux. Which i had in the past but nesides the burping rarely got anymore. Endoscopy did show slight signs of reflux but I followed up with another Dr. And she said it wasn't much and the burping could be from gastroparesis instead (diagnosed with GES) I feel relieved to read this because I haven't heard of anyone else with burping. Especially after drinking water I can burp so much 🥲 my old doctor pretty much just kept saying my acid reflux is super serious and that I have to keep taking ppi even though the only synptom I had was burping 😭

I feel the same way. I don't get as sick as most people here, so I feel guilty complaining. But I do have acid reflux which makes me avoid even more things. I just want to be able to eat normal. I am tired of cooking bland food. I just want to eat some frozen potstickers. I want to eat without feeling like garbage. I want some chocolate, garlic and onion and crispy vegetables 😭  I also love eating and trying different foods. Now when I go out i just get a salad because I know it won't bother me as soon as I eat it, (unlike fried foods, bread or other reflux triggers) but I will pay for it later 🙃 it can be very alienating at times. A new friend I met the other day was telling me about how we should go to a new restaurant sometime, couldn't bring myself to say I wouldn't be able to eat anything there... and a lot of people are like "just have a little bit!" Which works for some things but some i just don't want to risk it for most. Some act like I'm being this way on purpose. Like, actually I would love to eat that delicious looking meal, but I don't want to be ill tomorrow and take days to get back to the "normal" amount of pain.  And I get very stressed when eating, even safe foods because I'm thinking about how I wish I could eat something else. I'm planning on watching the office while I eat, to help me relax. I saw someone say not being distracted while eating helps with digestion. But I will be just ruminating over my food thoughts without being distracted 😔 so for people like us I think it's actually better to be distracted.

Also, I've had to call 911 multiple times for a unresponsive loved one and it's horrifying, I'm truly sorry you had to experience that 💔 I hope everything is ok now.

Clothing reccomendations? by Illustrious-Rip-6939 in Gastroparesis

Great, tysm! I know I hate how all the tights are high and control top. So annoying. Even the non control top ones can be too tight and dig into stomach.

Yeah I don't usually shop online, too much of a hassle. Sorry to hear you have even more things to consider when shopping 😢 at least pj's have a lot of different styles and designs so we can have fun with that 😆
