“Nothing is more powerful than hope. One little nibble can keep a person fishing all day!”

Herbert V. Prochnow Jr.

Found this quote on a gastroparesis website today. The more I search on the internet about this horrible disease, the more I learn. There are so many other people out there that can relate to my life by either living it itself, or being a family member to someone that suffers from it. This is a story from another woman that basically has 'lived my life.' I hope the link comes up! Just an FYI for all of you!

Definition of Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a medical condition consisting of a paresis (partial paralysis) of the stomach, resulting in food remaining in the stomach for a longer period of time than normal. Normally, the stomach contracts to move food down into the small intestine for digestion. The vagus nerve controls these contractions. Gastroparesis may occur when the vagus nerve is damaged and the muscles of the stomach and intestines do not work normally. Food then moves slowly or stops moving through the digestive tract.
