IBS or Gastroparesis

Has anyone been diagnosed with either IBS or Gastroparesis? I am having issues with my stomach again and I have had IBS for awhile but now wondering if it is something else.

  1. - Hi Amy! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing stomach issues. I hope others chime in with their experiences, but in the meantime you may want to checkout our sister community: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/. I hope you can find some helpful information there. Take care - Kelsey, Type2Diabetes.com team member

    1. Hi , have you been able to find any useful information either by reading others' experiences or by talking with your healthcare professional? I just wanted to add in addition to what Kelsey mention, you may find these articles interesting if you're still looking: https://type2diabetes.com/clinical/diabetic-gastroparesis & this was an interview, the person doesn't go too in-depth, but they do live with IBS: https://type2diabetes.com/living/community-spotlight-dan-diagnosis.

      1. Nice thanks for this is very interesting

    2. Thank you for checking back. I did join the group for IBS and have found some helpful advice. I do have an appointment with a gastro dr next week so hopefully can get some answers.

      1. @Liz Hiles wanted to follow up with you. I did a gastric emptying test today and I do have gastroparesis along with IBS. I meet with my dietitian tomorrow and also my Dr. Is prescribing Reglan.
        If you have any advice I would love to hear.
        Thanks
        AMY

    3. Hopeyou get well soon
