I have severe Gastropereis and the only food that doesn´t cause me any troubles is Chinese Food.! Really...

Hi, I suffer from this for years. After eating, the food gets stuck in the stomach for hours (or days) until I vomit it or eventually it passes through (which prolongs the pain). That is why I try to vomit when it happens so the sickness goes away. The only 2 things that have helped so far are...

And I just found out in another thread that some people are using R-ALA. I just bought it from eBay but I haven't tried it yet to give a review, but it's worth to try.

I've had this problem for years. and only 2 things have helped - Iberogast, herbal drops to take when you eat and CBD, sold as an electronic cigarette (all herbal, non tobacco) sold by Medipen. In the UK you can get Iberogast via eBay and the MediPen from their website.

Hello. I am trying to put on some weight also. You say eating more protein is a good solution but i ask: doesn't too much protein harm the kidneys or liver? What should be the correct amount of protein to take? Thanks...

Hi Aaron. I have the same question as you. The difference is i have trouble digesting (gastroperesis) so i don't see many choices for that. To gain weight, i suggest you go to a gym and do serious musclebuilding. At the same time, eat a lot of carbohydrates ( you need to manage your insulin...

Hi all. I'm a 37 yo type 1 diabetic. I have suffered from "non-digestion" of food for several years. I have not yet resolved the problem, but i'm trying to deal with it in order to avoid the pain. Here's what i learned: 1) I can eat a good amount of food, and that food may take a long time to...
