Gastroparesis is a debilitating stomach disease that literally means paralysis of the stomach. One of every 62 people in the united states alone (about 5 million Americans) have been diagnosed with Gastroparesis. Most people take for granted being able to wake up every day and sit down to a good meal. Those with Gastroparesis don't. They starve.
Your stomach stops working, you lose your ability to eat. Symptoms of Gastroparesis include non-stop nausea, Vomiting, severe abdominal pain and cramping, unintentional weight loss, unintentional weight gain, feeling full after eating very little, bloating, heart burn, loss of appetite, anemia, and reflux. It is like having food poisoning all of the time.
We need a cure and research so that many of us can live normal lives again.
