It basically means that my stomach doesn’t empty correctly because of nerve damage. Treatment is a bit tricky to start. There are general guidelines for what to eat and avoid but everyone’s body reacts different. Like, I can eat ice cream and yogurt very safely but dairy, overall, is not recommended. The same goes for nuts. Fizzy water makes me feel better but it’s generally considered something to avoid, etc. I need to be gentle and not stress out for a few weeks. I need to walk after every meal which is a set weight of food every 3 hours and all this other time consuming treatment. A humorous piece is it’s recommended to eat super easy to digest foods. Which are processed gains, stuff like apple sauce, etc I need to avoid vegetables that aren’t heavily steamed and fibrous fruits. So I’m going to be eating the way everyone assumes a fat person may eat vs the way I normally do. I am still going to be taking pictures and making content. However, I am also hoping to do some streams and some other fun things that connect us back together. I’ve missed being fully present. I’m excited to start the healing process.
