-I lost my apetite. and then when I did get hungry, after one bite I

was full. I also barfed a lot and had severe nausea..when I say a lot, I mean I

barfed 10+ times a day, every day. The nausea was ALL the time. Gastroparisis to

me, is worse than cp. It is so miserable. I take erythimycin for me. and it has

been my saving grace. It's hard to diagnose. I know that too. There isn't really

a treatment for it. My girlfriend had a pacemaker installed in her stomach. I

wish I had that but my doc is too conservate to give me one. It's stupid and

makes me mad to say the least. I know of one other person who has it and he

takes erythimycin too. You can't eat solid food. When you do eat, if you don't

barf it up, it goes out the other way. I pretty much live on mashed potatoes. I

also found that oddly enough, a 1/2 bage does wonders for me, (once a day). Stay

away from all dairy. Drink water only and at room temp. I have never found a way

to keep it under control and keep my blood

sugar in check. I hear that after the TP/ICT, it may go away on it's own, or it

could get worse. I sure can't image it getting worse!!!! UGH! Do you think you

have it?-Kat
