Please consider this terrible condition of people, starving for food but can't eat or digest. Some die of malnutrition and dehydration because our bodies will not accept food. Most medical repairs consist of stomach bypass, stomach removal, feeding tubes, pyloric valve cutting. We want to eat, we have the food, but our bodies just won't keep it. Its surprising when you vomit food you ate 3 days ago, whole food that fermented in your stomach.Jan 20th, 2015Someone from Gastonia, NC writes:

I have Gastroparesis and had been on TPN ( Total Parenteral Nutrition ) for 7 months in 2014, also I had been in and out of hospitals, tons of expensive medications, if I am not vomiting I am bloating and under horrible pain. My colon is not working my GI wants to cut it out. I can't do plans with my family because I have to live one day at time. I am Celiac, my foods are very expensive because they have to be organic, gluten free, dairy free and fat free. Please help me I don't know for how long my husband can afford with all these.REPORT COMMENTS
