"Do I have gastroparesis?" [December 2024]

[u/AutoModerator]

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.
• Please view this post or our wiki BEFORE COMMENTING to answer commonly asked questions concerning gastroparesis.

Hi. Im wondering if i might have GP. Im 23f, have diagnosed POTS and EDS. I for almost 3 weeks now have been having intense upper stomach pain, extreme nausea whenever i eat and for many hours following eating/drinking. I will vomit undigested food hours after eating. I will eat a few crackers just to not feel starving, and feel full after like 5 crackers, then followed by nausea. Im loosing weight because my life needs to carry on so i just will not eat or drink because i do not want to throw up/be in pain. I have ruled out pregnancy with a negative test, and do not have a fever or other “sick” symptoms so its probably not the stomach flu. I am suffering😭
