Welcome back to our blog about gastroparesis! Today we are going to focus on answering questions about risk factors, distribution, and those affected with gastroparesis in the Unites States. In general, these questions refer to the epidemiology of the disease. So here we go...
In 2007 it was found that 24 out of 100,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with gastroparesis. This disease affects 4 times more females then men and is found more often in diabetics than non-diabetics. Within the diabetic group diagnosed with gastroparesis it is more common in Type 1 than Type 2 diabetics.
No deaths have been attributed to gastroparesis and gastroparesis is not associated with increased mortality- good news! However when gastroparesis is associated with diabetes it is important to modify insulin, exercise, and/or diet to rectify these health needs. This is the same with any co-occuring diseases or diagnoses.
Gastroparesis can affect all modalities of your life including your physical, emotional, mental, social, and bodily functions. And let me tell you from personal experience that being diagnosed with gastroparesis is NOT fun...but it IS manageable.
So let's get personal. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis 2 years ago and my road to recovery has been long but I made it through. Looking back I can't believe that I was one of those 0.024% of people that is diagnosed with this disease. I am a female so I did have an increased risk but I do not have diabetes or any other disease often associated with diabetes. How unlucky am I?! The good news is there is no increased risk of death and you can recover from gastroparesis. I am one of those people.
Join me next week to learn more about what gastroparesis is and how it comes about. Thanks for joining me along this journey! And just for fun here is a picture of what gastroparesis can do to your tummy!

Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis,Shingles, Als,Diabetes,Epilepsy,Infertility, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
