Subreddit Rules
- Do not make posts asking if your symptoms sound like gastroparesis: If you're an undiagnosed person that wants to ask this community if you might have gastroparesis, please note you must see a doctor for an official diagnosis. Currently, the only ways to diagnose gastroparesis are motility tests such as a gastric emptying study. We can answer questions before you are diagnosed, but take all responses with a grain of salt until you’re assessed by an MD.
- Do not ask for interpretation of GES test results: Users are prohibited from posting their GES test results with the intention of asking other users of this forum if it’s positive for gastroparesis, or what their results may indicate. We also don’t allow posting GES results as it borderlines our “sick olympics” rule.
- While a value of greater than 10% food retained after 4 hours supports delayed gastric emptying, only a professional can provide a diagnosis of gastroparesis.
- Posts containing potentially triggering content must have a spoiler and NSFW tag. : Triggering content must have a spoiler and NSFW tag so that members of this community who are uncomfortable or suffer from trauma aren’t forced to view triggering content. Triggering content may include but isn’t limited to eating disorders, thoughts of self harm or suicidal intent, and graphic images (e.g. surgery, post-operative pics, bodily fluids, infections).
- Be civil. Be kind. : While disagreements are allowed, any insulting and hateful comments are prohibited. Please keep all disputes reasonably civil. Being kind is a good thing. Don’t fuel a fire.
- No bots or use of AI allowed.: Bots accounts are not allowed to be members; all members of this sub must be real people. In addition, the use of AI (eg copying and pasting a ChatGPT answer or any other AI tools) is prohibited.
- Low effort posts are not allowed.: Please don’t spam the community with vaguely worded or low-effort posts. These posts clutter the subreddit and compete with legitimate posts from users who are earnestly seeking advice and information. This includes cross posts without additional information included for this specific subreddit.
- No Sick Olympics : Everyone here is suffering from gastroparesis and related symptoms. Responding to a comment or post stating why your situation is “worse” is not tolerated in this subreddit. Similarly, posting about how you are “worse” than others is also not tolerated. This included posting the results of your GES and asking to compare it to others’. Let’s keep this subreddit supportive and inclusive, and sick Olympics will result in a temporary ban.
- Please do not provide blatant medical advice or misinformation: All posts and comments with either medical advice or misinformation will be removed. Multiple offences will result in a temporary or permanent ban.
- Asking for medical advice is outside the scope of this subreddit. : While some questions might be suitable for others to share their experiences, for the most part, anything medical should be discussed with your doctor. You can also try /r/askdocs, if you really need to.
