  1. Gastroparesis is a condition that can go into remission and then flares up. Raven has a gastric pacemaker which saves some people's lives? Others? No change. 

     

    Also the diet is basically all the things that you are told to lose weight. Low fiber. I can eat candy but not an apple. 

     

    Link to Mayo Clinic with treatments including diet.

    • Eat smaller meals more frequently
    • Chew food thoroughly
    • Eat well-cooked fruits and vegetables rather than raw fruits and vegetables
    • Avoid fibrous fruits and vegetables, such as oranges and broccoli, which may cause bezoars
    • Choose mostly low-fat foods, but if you can tolerate them, add small servings of fatty foods to your diet
    • Try soups and pureed foods if liquids are easier for you to swallow
    • Drink about 34 to 51 ounces (1 to 1.5 liters) of water a day
    • Exercise gently after you eat, such as going for a walk
    • Avoid carbonated drinks, alcohol and smoking
    • Try to avoid lying down for 2 hours after a meal
    • Take a multivitamin daily

    Probably due to eating GMO corn which has terrible effects on the stomach and is causing massive numbers of people to have digestive problems. I know they say it is genetic, but somethings are initiated due to weakness that would not become active without the causative substance.

    It is not caused by that. I have gastroparesis as well. It's usually caused by genetics or a damaged vagus nerve.
