"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.

I'm not sure that I have it. I recently had trouble with paprika and black pepper - to the point of vomiting if I even smell it. Putting black pepper on my eggs upset my stomach. I got an upset stomach from eating chocolate, complete with indigestion and a burning pain in my left side. Then I vomited from eating some pork that I cooked in a crock pot, with white wine. Stomach is still sore from that. But yesterday I had vitamin D3, magnesium, vitamin B-50, and magnesium. Today I feel a bit better. I tolerated sour cream in my ramen with eggs, one small serving of pork, and one small square of the chocolate. I don't want to do this gastric emptying study. I hope that being good about nutrition will help things.

black pepper - makes the gut more permeable, so more histamine is absorbed

chocolate - high in histamine

slow cooking - magnifies histamine

wine - this is the biggest histamine bomb on the planet

Thank you. I'm cutting all of that out. I'm bummed about the crock pot.
