Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have a patient who is only 30/31 but suffers from gastroparesis (2/2011) with weight loss of at least 12 pounds since diagnosis, lactose intolerance, and a gluten sensitivity. No history of diabetes, no known cause for the gastroparesis. She tries to avoid artificial items such as Ensure type products and would like to stay as all natural as possible. She is feeling very alone and getting to the point of being afraid to eat foods because of the bloating, nausea, and dizziness she has gotten from the gastroparesis. She is already following the common recommendations for gastroparesis, but is feeling very isolated. I need any help I can get for some suggestions to either help her gain weight,or help with the bloating, nausea, and other symptoms, as well as any support groups in the ABQ, Las Crusces, El Paso Area, or even online chats, or if you have a patient who is willing to give out contact information so she has someone else to talk to. Please help me out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
