Hi Thanks I appreciate your thoughts very much. Seems like what ever I swallow these days comes up. Doesn't matter anymore what it is. Even ensure and  Gatorade  comes up. I have been on a liquid diet since February and was on liquid puree diet since January. I don't seem to have the stomach pains. Not sure why when you see how much I am vomiting every day. I also had Botox injections in early  March. That didn't help either. Maybe you should look for a new GI doctor once. I know my local doctor was like that at me too.Before I was told I had GP, he was very unfriendly at times to me.I think he was more frustrated than me because he didn't know what was wrong with me. When he knew and things weren't getting better, he sent me to a specialist in Philadelphia in hopes he could help me more.  So far it hasn't made any difference. GP is hard to deal with for sure.

Hello! I also suffer from gastroparesis. I have been on a regular schedule of eating and vomiting for the past 4 months. I eat on day one, two and three. Approximately one hour after eating my first meal on day three, I have extreme abdominal distension and pain. I only get relief after I vomit and it is the distinct foods that I have consumed on day one, two and three. I am not digesting much of anything. I take creon and reglan to aid in digestion, but it is impossible for me to digest an entire meal. My family physician shows little concern and assured me that one day my digestion issues will subside. I am wondering when! I also suffer from chronic pancreatitis and this is a contributing factor. I understand your frustration and I am sorry that I have no advice for you. I just wanted to share with you and let you know  that you are not alone. Keep your chin up and try to stay positive!
