Just a Girl with GP
Description
My name is Kelsey and I live in Ohio. This blog is meant to be a documentation of my life with moderate idiopathic gastroparesis - a stomach condition I was finally diagnosed with in January of 2012, after 10 months of being chronically ill. Not only is gastroparesis an "invisible illness," but so little is understood about the disorder, especially by the general public. So many people out there don't even know what gastroparesis is, not to mention what it's like living with gastroparesis every day. Well, this blog is my attempt to archive my own experience, to raise awareness, to reach out and to do my part to help people understand.Links
Not sure why I went for the goofy pose on this picture, haha, but oh well.
So, let’s talk nutrition, yes?
I’m vitamin deficient and suffering malnutrition, believed to be caused by my GP. I’ve been taking a multivitamin for quite awhile now, and I just recently started taking biotin for my hair and nails.
My iron is also low, so I have to take that in pill form as well.
So frustrating if you don’t get what your body needs because your stomach just freakin’ sits there… and does nothing… grrrrr. >.<
Any similar experiences? Thoughts?
