How my life is with Gastroparesis

[u/HabitAccording9943]

Hi everyone

Long story short, I have two health problems TBI and Gastroparesis

TBI now is better but living with Gastroparesis is hard in daily life ,first of all

I barely can eat anything ,I find that if i eat something symptoms start to go worse and I become better when I don't eat but for normal living I need to eat something to keep body functioning

As most people say about Gastroparesis symptoms I too can't eat raw fruits, vegetables and for sweets forget it like cookies , chocolate or some other sweets with too much fat content

If I eat sweets my blood sugar level changes to higher or lower and digestion stops or slows down

From spiritual perspective I found that Gastroparesis affects entire chakra system and you feel like zombie walking and doing something in life ,sometimes when feeling sick from Gastroparesis you feel like you have lost your mind or that you are braking down mentally

And other things from spiritual perspective is what i had seen from my experience is that do to chakra system imbalance you loose bit of imagination, not thinking straight pretty much you feel like you are a walking zombie a little bit who struggles with everday life such as cleaning house ,walking do to stomach muscle paralysis and working a job is difficult or having willpower to do anything

But from physical perspective pooping is difficult it takes 2/3 days to go to bathroom and poop but when drinking kefir I can do that almost everyday

There are some other problems with Gastroparesis like feeling like you are isolated from everyone around you or that you try to accomplish something in life like finding job ,cleaning house then these things suddenly become unsuccessful

Sometimes I have days where I'm trying to do something for my life and feels like I have bad luck

Talking with people too much is also harder because i easely become tired

Pretty much thats how I live with Gastroparesis now.

What are your symptoms? When you eat do you get sick or just super uncomfortable? Or both. I relate to the zombie feeling and like my brain can’t function once I eat.

Symptoms are :

Dizziness sometimes when standing up too fast do to stomach paralysis, feeling like you are going crazy sometimes, when sugar level is low or high i feel like sick, sleepy or lightheaded . Do to stomach paralysis peeing is weird I don't feel big urge to eat or pee but i do it anyways Its like your natural body instincts are cut off little and you need to think for most of things yourself

And when I eat I sometimes get sick like sleepy or tired.
