Delayed stomach emptying?
Hey everyone, yea...it's me again =)
I was thinking about how I'm going to be stuffing my face with juices and tea and etc etc again today, and how full I get, and how the fullness makes me feel kinda sick. I was asked yesterday if I had any problems with (I forget the phrase used) stomach emptying. I said no, not really, then thought about it, then said sometimes...then since that talk I have really thought about it and it has always been a huge problem for me. I could eat half an apple and be stuffed for many hours. I remember earlier this year getting sick one morning (throwing up) and seeing something from 18 hours earlier. And no matter how much I eat I have hugge burps after, even with the juicing. I always thought with the juices they would just go through quicker but maybe they aren't and maybe that is why I'm so full. And I'm adding the slippery elm gruel 3x a day starting today. I've been told in the past that it could be some gastroparesis caused my 20 years of diabetes. Anyone have any ideas that might help improve this propblem? I'm seriously stuffed after my morning flush drink of only 12
oz of juice. Not to mention in that case I'm never able to take the acv bomb on an empty stomache (or anything for that matter). I did simmer my tea way down this morning to get all the herbs without so much liquid.
One more question...I don't know why I only think to mention these things now but better late then never I guess. I always suffer from intestinal inflamation...doesn't matter if I have 1 bite of food or a whole meal, and I get big time bloated, I look about 5 months pregnant bloated. Is there anything else I should be doing to help this? Like I said above I'm starting my slippery elm gruel today (did it once yesterday, with apple juice and cinnamon...yum! but very filling). Also I figured the IF 1 and 2 will help. I thought about this one last night...after a bad day yesterday I had a few bites of a raw vegan lasagnia the hub had made, and I bloated up like a balloon, though I haven't really been bloated at all since starting the IP.
Thanks everyone...
