It's a rare digestive disease. I've had gastroparesis for 16 years, there is not enough research to give us better treatment options. It's not curable but we need quality of life too. It's a debilitating disease most of us rely on artificial nutrition. August is Gastroparesis awareness month when it becomes recognized as such more people will be aware of us. I live in Texas, Wise county it doesn't have the facility to treat me so I have to find someone who can. That's so hard to do. What you read about it on the internet is all generic, it needs to come from the people who have it or a loved one. It effects people of all ages and gender. We are desperately needing and seeking help. If we can't get it, we're back at square one. I'm not going to quit until our voices heard
