~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello,
I suggest that you ask the gastroenterologist to rule in or rule out
"cancer of the esophagus" as a cause of your symptoms. It took the doctors
from the VA over a year before they finally figured out that my neighbor
had cancer of the esophagus. They were treating him for GERD and a Hiatal
Hernia before they finally figured out the reason for his symptoms. In his
case, the cancer was at level two so they plan to remove the tumor in
about two weeks. If the cancer was at a higher level, they would not have
been able to remove the tumor.
I am not a doctor.
If the tests indicate that you do not have cancer of the esophagus,
consider reading this book and following the diet program.
"The Acid-Alkaline Diet For Optimum Health" by Christopher Vasey, N.D. The
diet is designed to reduce the amount of acid in your body.
Jason

He did a biopsy and that's how he knows it is GERD. I don't think an acid/alkaline diet would help me. My main problem is the gastoparesis. Thanks!

Gastroparesis frustration Julie, I am glad to hear you had your stomach scoped along this journey. I missed that somewhere along the way. Again, glad to hear it. *Looking* is the best way to know for sure. Sure hope you get some relief soon. Billie

Thanks. I'm sticking to chicken, rice and broth. Might try some turkey and potatoes for dinner. Whoopie! Now if I could just get my strength back. I need to put laundry away and even that seems daunting.

Once you know in the heart of your soul that "Hunger is good" you will be stronger. May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way making you hungrier than you have
ever been in your life.
Prayerfully in Jesus' ever-lasting love,

That could only result in making Juile feel guilty and selfish, knowing that there are millions of children in India going to bed with full stomachs tonight. -- cary

Julie, I had some stomach, esophagus problems back in the early 90s, and
rice 'n' cheese was about all that I could handle, even having my dil bring
it to me in the hospital. Jim found some mashed potatoes low in carbs that
I've been eating lately, when necessary only, so I wouldn't get used to
wanting them again. Reading your chicken, rice, broth, above, makes me
wonder about going back to my rice 'n cheese until I see the gastro on the
27th (I think it is). I know I take insulin, and can cover carbs, and
spiking with the rice, but I still eat as if I am not insulin dependent to
try to keep my usage and possible highs as low as possible. Make sense?
The slightest miscalculation for a bolus sends me sky high within minutes
even though I am getting a basal insulin all the time. bummer I've been
able to eat so little variety lately, and have such a minimal appetite, my
old rice 'n cheese dish sounds so good to me right now. I know you've been
eating *out of the box* as far as diabetes, and knew I was going to have to
do it somewhat, but I've done so good letting go of the starches for the
past six years, this bums me out, but.......... might oughta do it for the
next coupla of weeks. Glad you mentioned that. Sorry you cannot have
cheese. ;-)
How do you feel today? Were you able to eat last night? LOL Did you get
your laundry put away? You know, throughout all the years with the kiddos,
doing the laundry was no problem, but getting it all put away was! I
empathize with your feeling bad and weak, and having to see that before you
to do. Loved my kids, but glad those days are behind me. ;-) Enjoying the
grands now.
Keep us informed. This has been interesting (not for you, huh). I dread
going to the gastro myself. :( Had to have my esophagus stretched twice.
But he got me all fixed up back in 92, so maybe he will now, too. Dread the
evitable tests, though.

I did the rice and cheese for a while and also rice with mashed potatoes. That was back before I learned of the cooking.net">food allergies and during a time when for whatever reason I needed to eat a lot of carbs to keep my BG up. Quote: >I know I take insulin, and can cover carbs, and

Well, that doesn't sound too good. Quote: > How do you feel today? Were you able to eat last night? LOL Did you get

Yeah, the putting it away is a pain. I feel better today. Did eat last night and had toast for snack. Quote: > Keep us informed. This has been interesting (not for you, huh). I dread

I don't really want to go back to him. He made it sound like there wasn't anything he could do for me and I'd just have to muddle it out with diet.
