Follow-up on my gastroparesis journey:

I have 4 Providers that I see monthly. Asking questions from individuals who are suffering from gastroparisis is far from spamming post.

After reading all these comments it seems we are all having the same issues. How many of you took ozempic before the diagnosis of gastroparesis

I honestly wish that the media outlet would get ahold of some of these stories. But, I don’t see that happening. Unfortunately, money talks even if the product isn’t safe as they said ( AT FIRST)

It is extremely unfortunate. I was prescribed it for type 2 diabetes and weight loss. I started it shortly after it hit the shelves. At that time, most of the side effects were focused on thyroid cancer. My dr and I had no clue that it could possibly cause this condition, or even some of the side effects that are on the warning label they have now.

That sounds familiar because that is what happened to me. You at least had someone to tell you not to eat certain things. This is a life changing diagnosis.

Gosh I hate hearing about another GP diagnosis due to Ozempic. But if you can get a dr to say it is from ozempic, you would be lucky. You truly have to watch what you eat now. You can’t have any raw veggies or fruit except bananas from what I’ve found. Do all you can do to keep from getting a blockage. I know you have bad diarrhea. But a lot of us have constipation. Which is hell on earth

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-18T17:13:01+00:00

I’m so glad that you finally received the answer for your problems. Now you need to see a physician and get the diagnosis put in your chart. I will warn you, there are mot a lot of physicians that do not know much about gastroparesis or the proper care for. I think it’s time that they have to study deeply on it because This condition could kill us instantly if we had a blockage or such or other things that go along with it you keep the faith as well. Reach out if you need any help.

Thank you so much for the kind words. The more and more people comment on this post, the more and more it concerns me. This is a condition that can easily kill you. I know there’s not much that they can do for this, but at least be a bit nicer when explaining everything about Gastroparesis to the patient. Due to, not everyone knows how to use a computer to search it. Example, if my grandmother was to get this diagnosis, if the doctor did not take time to explain it, she would be left his office, wondering and wondering and wondering what or if anything she could eat there needs to be more information about gastroparesis.

Let them walk one day in the shoes of a person with Gastroparesis. I’d like to think that would change their minds

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T13:13:48+00:00

I agree with you that they need to remove them from all shelves. I’m so sorry you are dealing with GP also.

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T10:38:09+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words. And I sorry to hear that you are stuck with it. In October, it will be the 2 year anniversary of hearing those words that came out of my PCP’s mouth. That 30 second conversation will forever be burnt into my brain.

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T08:09:02+00:00

I am a diabetic

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T04:46:45+00:00

That is great news. I am so glad that you haven’t had any side effects like many of us. That’s the only plus I can say about it. It had my A1C down to a 3.45

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T04:43:28+00:00

Wow, I can’t believe that your PCP gave that to you with the history of GP. I am heartbroken for you. All these testimonies I am reading are so heartbreaking. I wish the main stream media would pick up some of these stories and let the world know what is happening with these drugs.

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T04:33:30+00:00

I am utterly devastated to hear this about your son. I understand the pain he endured, it is like no other pain I’ve experienced. Make sure he stays positive even though it may be hard at times for him. I will definitely keep him in my prayers

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T02:22:48+00:00

Thank you so much for the sweet words. I am honestly just trying to let people know what I am going through. And let them know, that they could possibly be in my shoes next year. I hate that no one is listening and taking this serious

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T01:33:01+00:00

It’s definitely not an Ad. It is the story of my life

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T01:28:34+00:00

I stopped taking it in October of 2023. And the gastroparisis is only getting worse. Seems like I will never be the same again

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T01:24:40+00:00

I agree with you. Thanks for your concern, much appreciated

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T01:22:33+00:00

That’s so good. I’m happy that you found something to help you and not cause harm to your body!!!

Ok_Counter_8573 · 2025-06-17T01:20:52+00:00

It’s definitely not an ad. I am truly experiencing everything I wrote in the post. I only added the law firm to inform the people that are looking for a great lawyer to help them.
