My Gastroparesis Story | Gastroparesis Awareness Month

Hello and welcome back to my channel (and if you're new here, a big welcome!) I'm back today with my first 'sit down' video in quite a while - I've definitely missed just sitting and talking to you guys. For today's video, as August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month, I thought I would share my story of Gastroparesis. I've tried to include everything from the symptoms I got as a child, how they progressed over the years, the journey I went through trying to get a diagnosis and a bit about any treatments/managements I have tried since being diagnosed. I have also included Intestinal Dysmotility in this video, as it is so linked to my Gastroparesis.

I hope this video will help to raise awareness of Gastroparesis if you haven't heard of it before. I also hope it will help if you are having digestive problems without a diagnosis, to hear how I managed to get my diagnoses. Or if you already have a diagnosis of Gastroparesis, I hope it will help you to feel a bit less alone.

Please do let me know if you have any questions about anything I've spoken about, and also let me know if there are any other videos you would like me to film - whether they're related to Gastroparesis or something different.

In this video:
