Hi

This is the first blog I have written. i have a contition called Gastroparesis or paralasis of the digestive system. It causes severe pain, nausea, severe vomiting,bloatibg,belching, malnutrition.
I have suffered from this since 2008. At first the hospitals said they didn't know what was wrong with me. I was told by one Dr that they may never find out what was wrong and I would just get worse until they would have to put an NG tuble in to feed me. I went home devastated...

The history

Posted 11-30-2010 at 04:39 PM by Ravenaier

digestive track

Posted 08-27-2010 at 11:34 PM by bigmom

hi, My Grandmother use to say the that food would to digest well do to junkfood, it would get stuck to your digestive track. So she would give us Castor oil (Laxative) every other month to clean us out, my husband started to get a bad, realy bad smelling burp, sick. so the second time he had that smell i gave him some Castor oil, and been giving him some every month, and he has not had that problem any more.
Castor oil works on the small intestine.
hope this helps.
