✨ TRUE OR FALSE? ✨

Coeliac disease is the same as a gluten intolerance… False! ❌

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition where eating gluten triggers an immune response that can damage the lining of the small intestine. This is different from non-coeliac gluten sensitivity or other forms of gluten intolerance.

Gastroparesis can be more than uncomfortable symptoms — when it becomes severe, it can lead to serious complications including dehydration, malnutrition, bezoars, difficulty managing blood sugar levels and a significant impact on everyday life. 💚

Understanding the potential complications is an important part of recognising just how much gastroparesis can affect those living with the condition.

Gastroparesis is often a lifelong condition, but there are a range of treatment options available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. 💚

Treatment will look different for everyone and may depend on the severity of symptoms and any underlying conditions, such as diabetes. Working with your healthcare team can help determine the best approach for you.

Throughout Gastroparesis Awareness Month, we’re sharing information to help raise awareness and understanding of this often misunderstood condition.

August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month 💚

Diagnosing gastroparesis can involve a number of different tests. Initial assessment may include a physical examination, medical history and blood tests, followed by further investigations to assess how the stomach is emptying and rule out other possible causes.

Tests may include gastric emptying scintigraphy, upper GI endoscopy, imaging and gastric emptying breath testing.

Swipe through to learn more about some of the tests used in the investigation of gastroparesis. ➡️

💚 August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month

Gastroparesis can have a number of causes, and sometimes, there is no identifiable cause at all.

Two common types include idiopathic gastroparesis, where the cause is unknown, and diabetic gastroparesis, which can occur when diabetes damages the nerves and muscles involved in digestion.

Understanding the possible causes is an important part of raising awareness and supporting those living with this often misunderstood condition.

August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month

Gastroparesis is a condition that causes delayed stomach emptying, meaning food moves through the stomach more slowly than it should. Raising awareness helps improve understanding of this often-overlooked digestive condition.

A symptom diary can be a useful way to prepare for your healthcare appointments.

Consider recording what you experience, when symptoms occur, how long they last and whether you notice any changes or patterns. Bringing these notes to your appointment may help you explain your concerns more clearly.

If your symptoms are ongoing, worsening or concerning, speak with your GP or healthcare professional.

General information only. A symptom diary does not replace individual medical advice or assessment.
