It is tough to get a diagnosis of Gastroparesis. Usually, you have been having significant digestive issues for quite a while and have undergone lots of GI tests to rule out illnesses that are immediately threatening your life. And then you finally get that Gastroparesis diagnosis. And you also learn that there really is not a cure. You can take medications to manage symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain, bloating. You are told to eat only small amounts. You may have been told to limit the foods you eat, maybe even to try the FODMAP diet. It’s a tough way to live, and hard to accept that you will be this way for the rest of your life.
Well, you don’t have to live that way. I have treated many patients with Gastroparesis using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
Chinese medicine has a well-documented diagnostic system that has been around for thousands of years. And there can be many different Chinese medicine diagnoses that explain Gastroparesis. The key is to identify the exact diagnosis that describes you. I have spent years studying and working to hone my skills so that I can make the right diagnosis for you. It is so rewarding for me to help someone who has been told there is no cure. To nurture your digestive system, so that it re-gain’s function and so that you can eat again, like a normal person.
If you would like to learn more, please make an appointment for a no charge, 15-minute consultation. I can explain more and answer your questions.
I look forward to meeting you.
Dr. Ann
