pillsandpebbles: Today’s task. Ugh. I ended up, with all my effort to keep them down, throwing up the eggs after an hour or two, then getting so sick I landed in the hospital for a week to get IV meds until I could eat again. (And never really recovered, and soon ended up with a feeding tube.)But… hope you have better luck than that. And that the test speed what is wrong. Remember speed of emptying isn’t that well correlated with severity of symptoms. So you can be very severely affected yet barely qualify for a gastroparesis diagnosis based on emptying speed, or empty very slowly but have milder symptoms. So your emptying speed may be a surprise in either direction.
