I'm sorry this video content did meet your expectation based on the title. Respectively, this video is about a young women who was diagnosed with gastroparesis related to an undiagnosed eating disorder. It is about her journey. The title and description clearly state this. As always, we are open to suggestions and questions you may have about a particular digestive health-related topic. Feel free to let us know what questions you may have about gastroparesis. We take all suggestions into consideration for future episodes. Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you for your question. We cannot provide medical advice. Please consult your healthcare provider to determine what medicine/treatment options are best for your health situation.
Thank you for your question. We cannot provide medical advice, but highly recommend you consult with your healthcare provider as these are all serious conditions and are best managed under the care of a healthcare provider with specific expertise in gastroenterology. You may also want to consult with a registered dietitian who has expertise in working with people with these GI health conditions. Hope that helps.
You can't cure SIBO, but you can tone it down. Cut out all dairy, processed foods, sugar (in ANY form and yes that includes erythritol, Monk fruit, Stevia, etc), cruciferous vegetables (brocoli, spinach,carrot, celery, etc), fruits (yes, all fruits) alcohol, wheat, barley, rye, malt, almond flour, etc. Eat plain chicken, turkey, pork chops, pork loin, lean beef, potatoes, rice, oats, and dairy free substitutes (butter is ok). That's it. You won't be feeding the SIBO because it thrives on sugar, complex carbs, and fat.
Thank you for your question. We plan to explore this question and some other FAQs in an a follow-up episode since there is so much interest. While we cannot provide medical advice, please consult your healthcare provider to determine what is best for your health situation. Here is an evidence-based article that does offer some insight on on airborne gluten exposure. www.verywellhealth.com/suffering-symptoms-from-airborne-gluten-562332#:~:text=One%20medical%20report%20backs%20the,with%20non%2Dceliac%20gluten%20sensitivity
I am crying so hard I can hardly see too type this response! I have been suffering from this for SIX years now. When I initially told my doctor that soothing was wrong she told me, 'well you do have divercultilitus.' My response to that was... I have what?! She said yes, didn't they tell you when you had your colonoscopy? I said no. That's your job. Her response was, you'll be fine, just don't eat anything small. Everything I eat causes pain and gas. I held up my shirt and told her that I look 9 months pregnant! She patted my belly and said, you are gassy! I have done a lot of research and tried a lot of diets. Nothing works. I have lost all family holidays. I spend almost every day in bed. I've lost time with my grandchildren. And I weigh a whole 84 lbs. I'm 63 years old. And YES I have gone through some massive stress since moving to Alabama 19 years ago. I deal worth ALL of the stress because my husband (who I do love very much) doesn't deal with stress. The only symptom I have that no one mentions is I can watch my stomach moving just like it did when I was pregnant, for awhile I thought maybe I had a giant worm in there, other than that all the symptoms are the same! GOD I PRAY I CAN FIND A GOOD DOCTOR LIKE KAREN DID!!! I JUST WANT TO BE ME AGAIN!
Thank you for this episode. I have EOE, but the closest gastroenterologist services are over 100 miles away so self care is critical. Our rural gp's wont address it aside from an option by local surgeon to stretch the esophagus. Helpfully, he spoke of the study on dairy. Eliminating it gives some relief, or at the least an allergic reaction decreased. Thanks to you tube sites like yours I can get a broader picture. My decades with providers in general is most are not curious to search out data or refer out. I wasted years explaining symptoms to no effect. Even online it took years to finally find a Univ of Washington State site that specialized in gastro. There I finally found a description of my symptoms of Jackhammer or Nutcracker esophagus cramping. So painful. I wish us well. Collaboration is a win.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and the kind words. The challenges you face with access to GI care for EoE are all too real. Please see these evidence-based resources for additional info: apfed.org/ education.giondemand.com/collections?q=eoe gastrogirl.com/health_hub/eosinophilic-esophagitis/
Thank you for your comment. We can certainly make a note of this and address in a future episode. Please let us know if you have any other questions/suggestions for our experts. We appreciate the feedback!
Thank you for your comment. Respectively, the RD was referring to grains that do not contain gluten,. Please see this evidence-based article www.healthline.com/nutrition/9-gluten-free-grains Hope that helps clarify any confusion.
While we cannot provide medical advice, we recommend you consult your healthcare provider to determine the cause(s) of you symptoms and get a an accurate diagnosis..

Hi there. I was positive for SIBO, and negative for h.pylori, candida, c-diff, e.coli, and parasites. I am trying ozone rectal insufflation, and low FODMAP. I am about to try carnivore diet because I cont to have nausea, and that horrible feeling of inflammation just below my stomach area. I tried to complete the 14 day 2 antibiotic therapy (flagyl and xifaxin) but due to nausea and diarrhea I could only tolerate it for 7 days. Does anyone know if lectins contribute to SIBO?
Hi, thank you for you sharing some of your journey. While we cannot provide medical advice, have you considered working (or ever worked with) a GI expert registered dietitian? It sounds like you are doing several things at once so it may be challenging to determine which treatment is beneficial. Also, the low FODMAP diet is best undertaken with the guidance of an experienced RD as there are nuances to the low FODMAP diet (such as portion size, etc) and their are risks of nutritional deficiencies if foods are eliminated and not replaced with foods that provide the necessary nutrients. And RD can also help you identify foods that may be triggering your symptoms. Please let is know if you need help with finding an RD. This is a helpful evidence-based article on lectins. www.healthline.com/nutrition/dietary-lectins
My symptoms are constipation, food allergy, flare up, bad smelly gas which is making my hell. I can't poop without medicine. How can I solve smelly problem. I have got stomach polyps is this related to IBS?
Thank you for your question, We cannot provide medical advice, but highly recommend you consult a gastroenterologist who can best address your symptoms and answer your questions. If you need guidance finding a gastroenterologist or a GI expert registered dietitian, who can also help with the dietary/nutrition aspects and help you figure out what foods may be triggering your symptoms, please let us know. Additionally, link below is to an evidence-based article from the Mayo Clinic on stomach polyps. Again, please see your healthcare provider so they can assess your symptoms and properly diagnose and treat/manage them. www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/stomach-polyps/symptoms-causes/syc-20377992
I diagnosed myself a couple days ago. I’m 1000% sure that this is what my problem is. I will not go to the doctor for this. I don’t need a scope down my throat and part of my intestines taken away to know what I already know. I’ll just change my diet, which is not fun. Day 2 of no gluten. It’s crazy hard. My symptoms, wake up foggy. My muscles and joints hurt for no reason. When I eat something I instantly have to go to the bathroom. And it’s not solid. I go to the gym 6 days a week for the last 5 years and I have made no progress. So that lets me know that what I’m eating, the nutrients are not being absorbed. I go to the gym 6 days a week and I have been at 130lbs for 5 years.
Congrats on taking the initiative to go right to the treatment to see if it helped and start the healing process. I was diagnosed years ago just after the internet became widespread. Had I known gluten could have been the culprit I would have done the same thing. Best of luck.
Thank you for your comment. Research and treatment options for EoE have really advanced. We encourage you to speak with your healthcare provider/gastroenterologist about your ongoing symptoms. Please visit our EoE Health Hub where you can find some helpful evidence-based info as well as self-assessment to see if your EoE is well controlled or not. This is a very helpful and easy tool you can take online and share the results with your doctor. gastrogirl.com/health_hub/eosinophilic-esophagitis/ An article from UNC with updates on EoE treatment www.med.unc.edu/medicine/news/new-drug-approvals-are-reshaping-the-landscape-of-eosinophilic-esophagitis-eoe-treatment/
Decades of distress and doing research. Years of dozens of tests, procedures and trial meds. Daily discomfort and at times debilitating and life altering gut distress. Missing out on life and taking 72 hours preparing for a weekend away with unknown triggers showing up anyway. IBSC is miserable. Yoga for C and FODMAP as a baseline. Walking after meals. Deep belly breathing. Full body scan relaxation meditation. Magnesium citrate and Glycinate at varying MG dosages. Every night the inflammation shows up. There’s no answer so far. Loss of social life. Loss of friends. Loss of relationships. Lots of acting ok when feeling miserable just to get along day to day. Food is the enemy. I’m told that I am a candidate for eating alone is a quiet setting. Yes - it’s a mind gut connection thing.
Can it be caused by environmental allergens and not food? It's been 2 years that I get the symptoms when I am at my workplace. When I am away from work for a long period I feel much better and symptoms go away after a few days. I go back to work and the symptoms come again! 😢 Can it be linked to hyperhomocysteinemia?
They have to play a factor. I've been eating the same foods and haven't had issues since a flare up 7 years ago . And all of a sudden I'm unable to eat anything solid. Already lost 10bs of muscle in 3 weeks. They need to do more studies
My husband had a stroke 5+ years ago and finds himself having this issue 1-2×s a month... could the stroke have something to do with it? Where can i find a neurogastrologist?
Thank you for your comment and sharing a little of your story. We cannot provide medical advice and highly recommend you consult with your husband's healthcare provider. As for neurogastroenterologists, they can often be found at many large GI centers. Where are you located?
Thank you for your question. Please consult with your healthcare provider to determine the type and dosage that is right for you. We cannot provide medical advice.
I have had gastroparesis for 34 years. I was curious about this video because I wanted to see what is new in gastroparesis treatment. Not much has changed, but the best change is having a wireless pill instead of tubes and wires used in the motility study. Over 32 years ago, Dr. Camilleri was one of my consultant doctors at Mayo Clinic, where I had my 2nd stomach surgery. That surgery probably saved my life. I’ve learned a lot since then. I stay away from the “recommended” drugs. Most pro kinetic drugs are dopamine antagonists. We need dopamine, so that is a bad side effect. Most antiemetic drugs are anticholinergic. Our brains really need choline, so that is also a bad side effect. I had my pyloris valve removed, and had horrible dumping syndrome for many years. I still get it occasionally, but less and less over the years. I assume having a pyloris valve permanently opened will do the same thing. GastroCardiac syndrome, aka Roemheld Syndrome is real. Basically, the symptoms of gastroparesis affects the heart. The key is the vagus nerve innervates both the GI tract, the heart, and every other major organ, but the GI tract and heart are in close physical proximity to each other. Malnutrition is a constant threat. Maintaining minerals, electrolytes and trace minerals is very important. I found out the hard way. I could write so much more, but I’ll stop here.
💡 Fantastic video, mam! 💡 Eosinophilia was a real struggle for me, but Planet Ayurveda's herbal supplements have been a game-changer. 🌿💪 My symptoms are now under control, and my overall health has improved. 🌱 My cousin had the same experience with their products. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with eosinophilia. 🌿🌟
I have seen Planet Ayurveda's herbal and vegetarian medications prove quite effective in the condition of my patients - Pranrakshak Choorna, Aller-G Care and Immune Booster Capsules help realign the distorted immune system.

All my symptoms are completely gone including bloating, abdominal pains/discomfort, chronic fatigue,weakness, diarrhea & persistent foul smell.. I successfully cured my SIBO symptoms & Halitosis/Bad breath from stomach due to GERD with alternative treatment and natural diet protocol from DR.UWENBOHERBALHOME On RU-vid..😓🥀🥀🥀
I've had this for the last 2 years, my worse experience is when I had to slam myself on the floor because my food pipe was completely cut off. A self imposed "Heimlich Maneuver" ...it's a nightmare. Complete loss of appetite when I have a flare ups, it usually last about 2 days. Loss of sleep because I'm drowning in my own saliva. I have to spit in a cup next to my bed. When I pour it out in the morning, it's thick and stringy :( I also noticed a stuffed up nose during episodes. I've described it as like have a really bad cold, and how the first day is the most miserable with symptoms getting better over the next few days. Problem is, I get it every 2 weeks to 1 a month (I keep a Diary) I have no insurance but now at least I know what is DEFIANTLY is. On a side not, I started buying shelf Stable Milk a few years back. There's some theories that this might be contributing to a rise in this condition.
Only the chocking part started a few years ago, I've issues earlier. I've also had chronic urticaria for 15 years, I hear the my be related. I'm a mess haha. Funny not funny.
The pain is real. I’m in constant abdominal pain, no energy. I had all the symptoms and the endoscopy revealed hernia and delayed emptying. They thought it was IBS for the longest
