Chronic Illness Vlog: Gastric Emptying Test Results 

Update: I tested positive for severe Gastroparesis. And I wish it wasn’t the answer. Thank you for sharing this. I have pots and tomorrow is my gastric emptying exam. I have a lot of stress with test because of the doctors who have associated my negative tests with being psycho somatic. I know, my family knows, my regular doctors know, that I am not psycho-somatic. And even though I have had a lot of negative tests, I have had positive tests too. I just happen to not have the easy to diagnose results. The diagnosis process is so stressful and tedious. Knowing that my POTS can cause stomach issues makes me feel less scared about testing negative for other digestive conditions.

Thank you! I watched both vlogs, and they really helped! My test is tomorrow morning.

Thanks for this video. I had this test a while ago. I have the opposite. I have a very SLOW digestive system. UGH

That is very interesting, thank you for sharing! I also have lots of bloating and discomfort, but this gives some insight. I'm definitely interested in hearing about the results of the new medication you will take for this. Glad that you can get some help for it! :)

So isn’t the digestion from dysautonomia which Potts is one type of dysautonomia. Some people have the digestive issue without pots but other dysautonomia system defects

I'm really struggling with dumping syndrome. Idk what to do about it, at my wit's end. Apparently POTS people are much more likely to have Rapid gastric emptying not slow.

Did you ever get bad breath with this stomach problem?

This was very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing

Try the AIP diet.

Bonjour, je viens du Maroc, j'ai une paralysie intestinale, j'ai perdu beaucoup de poids, je me sens toujours plein et lourd, et il n'y a pas de médecin qui veut m'aider, je suis très triste

Hi, does this mean you digest and absorb food differently

Hi I had this done also my test shows this Gastric emptying study shows emptying of 72% at 1 hour, 91% at 2 hours and 99% at 4 hours. Normal emptying values are greater than 10% at 1 hour, 40% at 2 hours, and 90% at 4 hours. Is that normal or not

Meredith what medication did they treat you with to help with the accelerated digestion?

My question is because of the small exposure to radiation with the gastric emptying test is there a risk of getting cancer or a risk of hair loss because of that exposure to radiation with that test you took?

Hi Whats sort of symtoms do you get ? i get lots of pain after i have a solid meal and its feels like its in the ctr of my chest i get bloating as well, Ive had a gastric bypass

What were your symptoms before ?

When they let you go home after the test how long was it that you were there for?

Can you tell what were your symptoms,please.

What is POTS?

Our food is GMO'd to the max. No wonder we're having severe gastrointestinal issues.
