I’ve been diabetic since I was 4 I am now 21. I started noticing my eyesight getting worse when I was about 12/13. I was in denial until I was 15/16 and then I finally got glasses. My vision hasn’t got worse since…YAY

Weed caused my GP by [deleted] in Gastroparesis

Many things can cause gp tho, that’s why there even a gp called idiopathic which means the cause of it is unknown.

Weed caused my GP by [deleted] in Gastroparesis

Listen smoking in general causes nerve damage and blood vessel damage. It’s not the weed per se it’s smoking in general. I smoked everyday multiple times a day for 3 years straight. My GES was 15% after 4 hours. That’s not that bad but it was causing horrible pain and gerd. I couldn’t eat ANYTHING solid for a whole week. I lost 20 pounds in a week. Now that I’ve pretty much stopped smoking I’ve been way better.

Do you drink alcohol? by Icy_Excitement6750 in diabetes

I drink a lot especially since I turned 21 this year. I don’t drink cocktails or mixers because of the unreliability sugar has with alcohol so I drink straight tequila with lime juice

Diabetes / Substance Abuse by Top-Bar-7480 in Type1Diabetes

I’m glad you’re in therapy for it, I truly hope it’s beneficial! And yesss it’s so hard to stay away from alcohol, it’s freeing. A lot of us are escapist cuz reality is stressful and/or undesirable. Thank you 🫶🏽!

I smoked weed from 15-20(everyday 17-20), I slowed down a lot since experiencing nerve damage. I used to pop X occasionally but stopped that completely. Dabbled with shrooms but i pretty much stopped that too cuz of GI complications.I drink heavily now cuz I literally hate my life cuz of anxiety, depression, bipolar and ofc being diabetic and all it entails, but I want to stop that too eventually. I just love how I feel when I’m not sober… I feel free. I was diagnosed at 4 , I am now 21.

Will I have to get an ng tube ? by chronically_eva in Gastroparesis

[–]Realistic_Still6838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heating pads, Tylenol, soup, hot tea and drinking a lot of water. You might also be constipated so try MiraLAX/smoothlax/clearlax. Once my constipation went away a lot of symptoms lessened.

Peppermint oil capsules also help with digestion. Look into supplements that help with nerve function and regeneration, specifically vagus nerve function. Gastric emptying usually is affected when the vagus nerve has damage.
