Grace’s Personal Story: COVID-19 and Gastroparesis
I contracted COVID-19 in 2021, and by 2022, I had lost 100 lbs and was taking in as few as 200 calories a day due to constant nausea. It took a year and a half (as well as numerous hospitalizations and thousands of dollars in medical debt) to get a diagnosis – severe delayed stomach emptying. I haven’t fully recovered to this day, but with some extreme diet changes and a better understanding, I’m able to live life again. I gained all my weight back and am able to live, not just survive.
