I was diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2013 when I suddenly became ill. Due to the chronic and progressive nature of this illness I am now disabled. Sadly, there are very few options for treatment…so much more needs to be done.

I am suffering with gastroparesis, and it has turn my life upside down. Seems like no one will help or knows anything about it.

I’ve undergone back to back hospital stays, surgeries, and procedures this year in my battle with Gastroparesis.
I am reliant on a feeding tube for nutrients, and a central line for iv fluids. I am only 22, Gastroparesis, IBS, and my other medical disorders have taken much from me, and I’ve become home bound and unable to work.
I fear that with Gastroparesis, my life has an expiration date that’s coming up sooner rather than later.
There are so many amazing, wonderful people from our Gastroparesis community that had so many wonderful things to share with this world, who were robbed of their chance after losing their battle with this terrible disease. We owe it to them, and to the next generation to find a cure.

My niece suffers, literally suffers, from this disease and it’s heartbreaking to watch her have to deal with all the horrible affects it has on her.

I have suffered with GERD , IBS and Dysporia for 7 years. I have taken every OTC available and still I suffered. My doctor then began to try 4 different types of proton, until finally Dexilant has made my life a little more manageable.
Dexilant has some awful side effects inculding kidney disease. My mother and brother both died from pancreatic cancer and had GERD. I’m afraid that I’m next…Please help. Sign the bill.
