I am so thankful to have an answer, now I know what I am fighting. I already have autoimmune colitis and my diet is already gluten and grain free along with 20 food sensitivities. My family is my anchor but my job REALLY gets me thru these hard times. I blessed to be the nurse to amazing children with multiple handicaps. When im not feeling great I go to work and I see this wonderful person who cant walk, talk, or even breathe on their own, and you know what?<br />They are smiling! They are always smiling and happy despite their medical issues. How can I feel down when they are so happy and depend on me! I am reminded every day that things can be so much worse. Life is so good, and I will make it thru this. Overall faith love and hope will get me thru. :-)mary Figueroanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490532388341413.post-6069948375525903282015-08-31T12:19:37.732-07:002015-08-31T12:19:37.732-07:00The two things that have significantly helped me c...The two things that have significantly helped me cope are my family and my cat. <br />My family has gone to such great lengths to help me with everything and they've been so understanding when I've been unable to do even simple things. <br />My cat cuddles with me when I'm in pain and is always doing things to make me smile. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490532388341413.post-31415645546638630232015-08-31T12:03:08.594-07:002015-08-31T12:03:08.594-07:00I am newly diagnose with gastroparesis as well as ...I am newly diagnose with gastroparesis as well as having to be a strict FODMAPer since last month. I became a GPer in 2010 after an emergence gastroectomy. The only thing getting me out of bed since then is my animal needing care. <br />As well as research but it is consuming my every thought. <br />I need help with coping! My world has been flipped upside down. I thought I was coping with GP friendly food but now as a strict FODMAPer also I'm lost. I don't know where to start. I feel like I'm out to sea without a life jacket. Thanks for the great question. <br />Ashley W.Ashley wintersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490532388341413.post-85927352685256345982015-08-29T09:44:13.452-07:002015-08-29T09:44:13.452-07:00My husband has been a huge help as I have been too...My husband has been a huge help as I have been too weak to fix food for myself.

My God is my rock and my fortress and my HOPE! While I may not have help or answers from the medical professionals, I know that my God is still in control of my life and He still loves me and cares for me. I have to keep looking to Him especially when I start to become anxious and overwhelmed.Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490532388341413.post-56650302658751472322015-08-26T17:54:36.497-07:002015-08-26T17:54:36.497-07:00Diet, acupuncture and anxiety meds...

My SO for helping me out when I'm at my sickest and can't do for myself, and my dog for helping me get out of bed and be something every day!<br /><br />As for including more: I need to include more outings! More time in the sun, going to a park or just being active. I've let myself become too much of a couch potato and need to try and overcome my "fear" of being in public (we know them all, what if I get sick in the store?).<br /><br />-Jessica DLady Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733837558079664358noreply@blogger.com
