Guest guest Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi all, anyone else here have gastroparesis? I've lost 30 pounds over the summer (so I'm fairly far below normal body weight, skin and bones really--hurts to sit) and finally a specialist thinks its gastroparesis--I can't each much & it seems like my body isn't passing food through my system. It sits for a long time undigested. Tests will reveal more this week. Apparently, gastroparesis is caused by vagus nerve damage. I'm wondering the connection because the vagus nerve can get damaged from a neuropathy caused by diabetes (which I don't have) or by a viral infection. I've had/have again infections, but they aren't viral. I'm thinking of the general inflammation, though, from exposure to biotoxins. So I was wondering if anyone else has this? It's super difficult to deal with this right now. The more weight I lose and malnourished I become, the more tired I am, the more I am in bed (sometimes 18 hours out of 24-hour day) and I'm supposed to start a new job soon, while still freelancing...Thanks, AN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
