Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/55 - diagnosed as chronic pancreatitis in 2013 - cluster of so called grapes there - results were free of it, now - diagnosed rare form of gastroparesis this Friday - Doctors in Indy used to give you pills for pain - and you could hardly breathe - nobody is explaining to you - wants to know what to expect and may be understand what is wrong with you...
Chronic pancreatitis might have lead to overt or occult diabetes.
This is one of the commonest reasons for gastroparesis considering your history of chronic pancreatitis.
This is a condition where the stomach can not empty its contents within the normal time, hence the food remains in this part of the digestive tract for a long time with its secondary effects:
- feeling of fullness
- burning in the chest and throat- the GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
There can be bacterial overgrowth.
- Nausea, vomiting.
- poor control over diabetes.
- resultant weight loss.
Please elucidate the detailed history, symptoms and signs if any; the reports of the investigations so that we can discuss further.
