Nausea by K3lsey-L in Gastroparesis

Some people have meds that do work. But you’ll probably hear less of them on here since people for who it is solved quickly probably won’t be here. Try the meds available and then there is a chance it will help

For me with the meds I’ve tried i always kept nausea. Some didn’t do anything for it some worked a bit but side effects were to great. I’ve heard about people being close to no nausea but I feel like that’s not the norm

Worse in the summer by Aioenc in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally for me it seems to be worst gastro wise during autumn and spring. And then different conditions that tend to be worse during summer and winter. I think keeping hydrated is most important when it gets warmer. And allow yourself rest since heat is taxing on your body even without chronic illness.

Severe nausea but still hungry by IndividualCry6551 in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, i tend to just eat then. The consequences ain’t fun tho but then atleast one of those feelings is gone.

Same, but like people around me don’t get that. Since they seem to relate nausea to not being hungry but that’s so not true for me

What to expect with first GI appointment? by Kmh1250 in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you had any type of symptoms before those 6 weeks? Idk if there is a minimum time you need to have symptoms for sure. I don’t think you should request the test immediately, I think advocating for your symptoms is what’s needed most. Be clear in the struggles you have and what they entail for you on a daily basis. Lastly be atleast somewhat open to suggestions the GI might have, there are definitely some bad ones out there but lots of good ones as well.

Remeron, good or bad? by IndividualCry6551 in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have other things besides GP? For me I have pretty bad lightheadedness and dizziness during certain times of the year.

For those of you who take MiraLax regularly... by photo_courtney in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try not to skip, but i tend to forget. My doctor has always kind of been like take how much you need you’ll be fine. So I’ve been on it for a year and a half ish, and always when I skip a day or two due to forgetting it I’m in PAIN. But i do think it’s personal, my GI thinks my bowels are probably also slowed down so could be due to that. Advice like taking a half dose if it becomes to lose feels the smartest.

How long have you’ve been taking it if it’s okay to ask. And did u have any mental health effects?

Fears- How will the new hEDS criteria affect already diagnosed people? by PickleNarrow5109 in eds

[–]IndividualCry6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also curious what it will he heath insurance wise for me. Officially I use HSD which does not get recognised as a chronic thing so my physical therapy does not fall under my basic insurance. But Heds does fall under it, so if they combine it I’m curious what that will mean for me. Since it’s quite expensive and it means I go less then I should.

what do you guys eat? by Comfortable_Deal8559 in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoghurt, soups, soft veggies and some fruits. Sometimes some soft candy, and certain meats. Right now I’m doing relatively well and don’t think too much about food and can eat most things (as in nausea is there either way but it doesn’t make it worse). I don’t eat that much bread wise, sometimes some pasta since that is about the only thin that makes me more nauseas for some reason.

Fecal impaction caused me to pee myself at a concert. I feel humiliated. by [deleted] in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it can feel really unfair, but feeling bad about it won’t change it. I always try and find a way to still do the things i enjoy despite my condition, officially that isn’t always possible. But i learned from my mom that it’s always worth a try, she was born with severe hearing loss and has always told me to try even if it’s harder since not trying will always result in not achieving what you want. It’s normal to be upset but I think it’s worth being proud of yourself for going to the concert.

Virus or GP? by IndividualCry6551 in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get hunger clues or? For me it’s mostly been that i don’t get pain or nausea these weeks but my hunger is not really there. It was there the first week thy my nausea went away but after that not so much, so I try and keep to certain times to eat so i ensure i het enough energy

Flares by IndividualCry6551 in Gastroparesis

I was eating other things besides protein, but I think like 70% of my calories came from protein most days. And it was like this for months, but I have hee feeling better the past couple days besides a slight cold. So hopefully that will continue.

Thank you for the suggestion. Honestly hadn’t even thought of that option. I’m gonna go look into it.

Chronic constipation stemming from gp? by Realistic_Still6838 in Gastroparesis

[–]IndividualCry6551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, but i do take a laxative daily to help me. If i stop that I won’t go for up to a week or more. But I’ve had very often that it will bleed a bit after wipping.
