    I suffer from Gastroparesis and this debilitating disease should be classified as a disability under SSA! I've lost 4 jobs due to this condition.

    Living with Gastroparesis (along with IBS, GERD, & food allergies to wheat, gluten, dairy, & eggs) is so restrictive to my diet & so very challenging as well. I am in total agreement of this effort & pray that it will pass!!

    I have GP and this disease is debilitating and most days I'm in pain beyond belief. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It's painful and being nauseous all the time sucks. Trying to work while having this isn't easy!
