Message: <blockquote data-quote="annie999" data-source="post: 373863" data-attributes="member: 67620">Hi my son has been diabetic type 1 since the age of 3 he is now 19 since November he has really bad stomach pains which make him sick. His gastroenterologist thought it was crohn's but every test is negative he's had an endoscopy, colonoscopy, barium follow through camera capsule test. We now think it is gastroperesis does anyone have experience of this? it basically means "paralyzed stomach"Looking it up there is a gastric pacemaker that can be fitted but we know little about this. He went into hospital again yesterday he is in A&E every week the only pain relief that touches it is morphine which then can slow the gut down which obviously isn't ideal. Anyone with  experience of this I'd love to hear from please.... I know diabetes is like a lotto but it's so unfair as he has very good control of blood sugar levels.thank youAnnie <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
