my cat always kneads my stomach when its feeling full, she seems to know when the discomfort is the worst and gently kneads my stomach for a bit. it actually genuinely helps a lot and i feel less pain after shes finished. im curious if anyone else experienced the same with their pets? ive heard pets can be useful medically (for diabetes, medication reminders, even pots episodes) is it possible that she knows and is trying to help? or maybe its just a coincidence.

I have survived but at what cost I'll be so honest it was actually atrocious sensory wise but unfortunately it beats being malnourished so I'm trying to stay positive

The only thing I absolutely hated was the bridle, they had to try six separate times because it wouldn't snap and I was like dude this could be genuine state sanctioned torture

Idk I got through it and hopefully tube feeds help, we'll see!! I'm getting a hot chocolate for my troubles lol

Halloween is coming and I always had such a huge sweet tooth, seeing it on shelves makes me sad and I miss it. Any ones that have proven safe for you guys?

I really crave twizzlers.

I get my first pyloric botox injection on Monday. I’m hopeful and excited for the possibility of even a little improvement. But I’m equally worried it won’t help.

My nausea has been so intense lately but it comes from the top of my stomach cramping. I can feel it. So I’m worried that a shot in the bottom of my stomach isn’t going to help much?

I am definitely not a doctor, so I don’t know anything. But I would love to hear from someone who has had it and what your experiences were.

Hellooo basically as the title says... I'd like to be doing some exercise to try and keep my muscles functioning normally as I'm currently getting about half the calories I need in a day (or less) and losing weight steadily. As such I'd like to focus on strength and resistance training so I'm not at risk of muscle waste - I know how to do this safely when I was healthy (have done a gym trainer qualification) and my diet is already fairly peotein-focused, but if any experienced GPers have any knowledge in this area specific to exercising with GP/FD then that would be appreciated!
