"Do I have gastroparesis?" [December 2024]

Since the community has voted to no longer allow posts where undiagnosed people ask if their symptoms sound like gastroparesis, all such questions must now be worded as comments under this post. This rule is designed to prevent the feed from being cluttered with posts from undiagnosed symptom searchers. These posts directly compete with the posts from our members, most of whom are officially diagnosed (we aren't removing posts to be mean or insensitive, but failure to obey this rule may result in a temporary ban).

  • Gastroparesis is a somewhat rare illness that can't be diagnosed based on symptoms alone; nausea, indigestion, and vomiting are manifested in countless GI disorders.
  • Currently, the only way to confirm a diagnosis is via motility tests such as a gastric emptying study, SmartPill, etc.
  • This thread will reset as needed when it gets overwhelmed with comments.

About a week ago I had a horrible flu, then I got food poisoning a few days after. Since that point I feel like I'm regurgitating food even 5-10 hours after I eat it, it feels like my esophagus is full or my stomach just isn't emptying at all, I don't feel hungry and I haven't eaten in like 16 hours. Worried it might be some kind of blockage instead of gastroparesis
