It's a delayed emptying of the stomach and can be due to a number of factors, but basically the stomach isn't active enough when you eat to properly digest many foods.
Usually is most pronounced with leafy greens, fatty foods, acidic foods.
I have a family member who has been diagnosed. Basically part of the stomach is paralyzed, making digestion difficult.
We're researching options, but there aren't a ton of them. Diet yes, but unfortunately the diet that works best for this is very carb heavy, which has its own issues. You can live on it, but hard to stay in great shape on it. You have to avoid a lot of vegetables, salads, and then of course eating out etc. is very limited.
I'm going to probably reach out to some place that I know is top notch, like Cleveland Clinic. They do have some specialty in this based on some other referrals, and a friend went there in the past and they were very impressive.
Just thought I'd ask and see if anyone in our group has any experience.
Thanks in advance. I'll hang up and listen to your answer. Oh, and is Ritchie going to play tonight?
