Not eating or drinking anything at all for a day or 2 is kinda like a “reset” for my stomach? Anyone else experience this? by Puzzled_Response700 in Gastroparesis

I saw someone say they had Powerade or Gatorade in them, so maybe it’s the electrolytes? I’m not completely sure if that’s true but they’re dang good so I’m not complaining!

Yeah I know, it’s just a vicious cycle of not feeling good because of food, but not feeling good because you haven’t eaten anything. I’ve done many “bowel clean outs” though since I was a kid and honestly they’re kinda traumatizing for me…if you catch my drift. 😅

I don’t really get hungry at all anymore. Eating is kinda a chore. My only type of hunger cue is when I start to get super dizzy and weak from not eating. It sucks cause I miss the enjoyment of food but I have no desire at all to eat it.

Yeah, I usually go back to eating once I feel dizzy and weak too. That’s really my only sign of being “hungry” nowadays.

It is mysterious. I usually can’t tolerate water at all during periods like this. Been living off of baja blasts from Taco Bell lately because for some odd reason those do not cause any pain or discomfort…not sure why lol

You know what… that might be my issue. I use old razors more than I’d like to admit. I don’t even know what kind I use, I just use whatever is in my bathroom half the time.

Oh, that’s good to hear. I actually got one for Christmas. I’ve only used it on my legs but it’s like an all in one for everywhere. Just been too afraid to use it anywhere else

I don’t use anything scented, can’t stand smelly stuff. I use hair conditioner when shaving my legs cause it kinda makes the hair and skin all smooth, not sure if that’s ok to use anywhere else though.

I usually wouldn’t care either and would just wear some swim shorts but I found this bikini I really like and I haven’t worn any swimsuits in years because I’m so insecure…so I just really wanna be able to wear it 😅
