Welcome to the GP Warriors Group, a place to share our stories and raise awareness for Gastroparesis.
A definitely interesting read for all my idiopathic GP sufferers!!
By profiling the human gastric muscle immunome in patients with idiopathic gastroparesis, researchers observed macrophage-driven changes and distinct patterns of human gastric muscle immune cells.
IFFGD will host a free Education and Advocacy Event about access to healthcare and how to best advocate for yourself.
This disease is pure hell but we have to keep fighting! We are Warrior and Warriors NEVER give up!!
Rise And Grind Facebook: Today is Wear Green for Gastroparesis Day 2024 . I hope to see many of you in green this Valentine's Day! Please DM pictures of yourself in green as we will share throughout the day!

Warriors: I am going to take a few days to focus on my physical and mental health and my family. I WILL be back in a few days, so don't go anywhere!
Thank you!!

🚨 🚨 🚨 Warriors; we deserve better! We deserve a brighter future, a future with a cure and effective treatment options. A better tomorrow for you, me, and our fellow GP family across the country and the World!
Currently in the United States there is no Functional Motility Bill that would expand funding for Gastroparesis/ Digestive Tract Paralysis research; research that would be key in finding a cure and the development of effective, safer treatments for this condition, leading to that brighter tomorrow that I know we all strive for every single day!!
Warriors, it's past time for our voices to be heard. The time is NOW! We need our voices to be heard NOW!! Not tomorrow, not next week, next month or next year! Our voices need to be heard now!
I have been in contact with Congressman Morgan McGarvey's office from Kentucky (my home) in regards to the need for a Functional Motility bill to be introduced in the United States. The previous Legislation introduced in 2019 made it only so far, but the need for a revised, more streamlined bill is needed today!
I am asking each one of you, whether you are a Gastroparesis Warrior yourself or whether a loved one or friend is the Gastroparesis Warrior; your voice matters! Your story matters! Your input MATTERS!! If you have any suggestions or questions, or any input whatsoever that you would like in a Functional Motility Bill, please email me at [email protected].
We can all make a difference in the future of Gastroparesis research and treatment but our voices need to be heard in order for that day to come! Use your voice, be the change that we all want to see.
We are Warriors! We are fighters and we are strong! Keep fighting! Again any input would be greatly appreciated! 🚨🚨🚨

Warriors, let's not forget Wednesday February 14th is Wear Green for Gastroparesis Day 2024. Let's make a statement this Valentine's Day; not by wearing the traditional red and pink; but Green in support of the String Sisters 14th Anniversary of Wear Green for Gastroparesis Day!
Wearing green this coming Wednesday is sure to become a conversation starter! What a great way to raise awareness for this incredibly ruthless disease by showing off our green to support our loved ones and friends!!
Let us show our support to our fellow Tubies!
Warriors of the United States; I am still looking for input on what you would like to see in a Functional Motility Bill? I am closely working with Congressman Morgan McGarveys Washington office to provide them with input on what us Warriors would like to see in a "renewed" effort to change the future of Gastroparesis Warriors across America. You can email me at the address listed below or comment on this post!!
One of our followers, and fellow GP Warrior, Josh is currently trying to have a Gastroparesis/Digestive Motility Bill be created.
He would like to know what YOU would like to see?
Personally, I would want expanded funding/research and general awareness.
Thoughts?
Gastroparesis Warriors; I have been working closely with my US Congressman's Washington office regarding Legislation for Gastroparesis/ DTP Research and Funding. During this process, I would love to hear from you! What would you all like to see in a funding/ research bill?
Working on some "legislative ideas" for a new U.S Gastroparesis/ Digestive Tract Paralysis bill. What would you like to see added?

Starting tonight I will be sharing nightly "Pick Me Up's". During the day each of us will go through tough times BUT those tough times do not need to last! Refocus, stay strong and persevere!
GP Warriors; Although the staircase (or mountain) may be tall and we may not see or understand what is on the top or the other side, have faith and take that first step. We cannot stay tied to our circumstances; our illness! GP Warriors are STRONG! GP Warriors are BRAVE! Climb that staircase. Make it through! You can do it! Have FAITH!!

There are only a handful of effective diagnostic options or tests to find out if a person has Gastroparesis. One of those tests is the Gastric Emptying Study; usually the longest 4 hours of a Warriors life! Learn more about the G.E.S below ⬇️
I am working on a monthly newsletter I will start sharing soon. I want to recognize birthdays, prayer requests, anything we can share with the group. Feel free to message me information like that that I can include!
