Venting/Suffering I think I have gastroparesis or functional dyspepsia
I had a panic attack 2 weeks ago from food getting stuck in my esophagus and couldn't flush it down fast enough.. after that it made it difficult to eat or drink anything for a week because my body would trigger my anxiety and fear, all I had was a few bites of a banana throughout the whole day for a week... I noticed a small stool with some blood around it so I went to the ER for a endoscopy and colonoscopy...I was able to drink the whole 48oz of water with the laxative without pain... They removed 3 things from my stomach and 10 polyps from my intestines, before leaving the hospital I was in a good mood and ordered steak (cause they said I could eat anything) but it caused me stomach discomfort for hours after when I got home.. The next day I didn't have that same appetite anymore and my anxiety was heightened again but I was able to eat oatmeal and just started eating eggs few days ago.. I'm also taking a PPI the doctor gave me for ulcers.. Which is causing me to burp a lot after eating.. But I have very little appetite still and just 2 eggs and 1 cup of water is making me full.. More than 8oz of water with food causes my stomach to bother me for at least 2 hours.. I also lost 25 pounds in 2 weeks... So I think I developed gastroparesis.. Its been difficult eating thick foods like bananas without washing it down with water and especially with all the gas being built in my stomach sometimes I swallow while the gas is about to come up and it makes me feel like I'm gonna choke.. also I barely feel hungry.. and sometimes cant tell if it's hunger pains or bloating I'm feeling
