Does this sound like IBS?

2 years ago I was diagnosed with gastroparesis (stomach not expelling food) thus causing me a lot of nausa (no vomiting though for me). I started this diet about a month ago and have worked up to almost 3 tablspoons of SF per day spread over 4 doses. I have followed the diet faily strictly. I had a few days where I felt good from the PT but now not so much. The one thing I read about from people is the pain from IBS. The only symptoms I experience are a lot of constant nausea and a little constipation. The nausea is centered at different spots on my abdomen at different times. I am really not much better from avoiding the trigger foods after a month. Does this sound like IBS to anyone? Should I continue fro at least another month? Thoughts? Thank you.

Have you been diagnosed with gastroparesis and IBS or just gastroparesis?

Was diagnosed with mild IBS a number of years ago maybe. Diagnosed with gastroparesis (mild) 3/06. Wish I knew what I was dealing with. I hear everyone talk of pain and discomfort an d I have none of that just pure nausea. The constipation is manageable, but does it just come from a general slowness of GI motility and not IBS????? Thanks fro any help

Pain and discomfort happens for some IBSers but not all. Constant nausea is not typical for IBS. Since you are not sure if you have IBS and it was maybe diagnosed several years ago it might be wise to see a GI doc and get a complete work up for IBS and gastroparesis again.

Good luck
