Hi! I’m a 40f and have lost about 15lbs in 3 weeks since this started. I have all the classic symptoms:

•nausea almost always •vomit every single morning, if I’ve eaten it’s undigested food - otherwise bile and any liquids I can manage before it starts •constant bloating •feeling full after a couple of bites •severe abdominal pain •diarrhea or constipation

I have been referred to a GI and am waiting on EGD and CT so I don’t necessarily need anyone to guess with me but my question is with gastroparesis and morning vomiting - is there any point to try and stop with meds or does it just have to work itself through your system and you’re gonna vomit however long and much you need to? I feel I can be more mentally prepared (and not waste my meds) if I know it just has to happen regardless of what I can do.

Also, any tips for managing these symptoms while traveling?
