What is Gastroparesis?
 
Gastroparesis is a digestive motility disorder where the vagus nerve is damaged. The muscles and nerves of the stomach, intestines and other GI organs become paralyzed.  This condition delays food emptying from the stomach and other GI organs which can result in serious complications and further gastrointestinal problems. 1 out of every 2 diabetics will develop Gastroparesis. This is 50 percent of all patients.
-National Institutes of Health estimates there are over 10 million Gastroparesis patients in the United States. Lack of medical education of Gastroparesis and patients not being properly diagnosed are still left untreated, suffering in silence.
 
*Gastroparesis is most commonly caused by diabetes, but can also be hereditary or occur as a result of surgery on the stomach or vagus nerve, viral infections, medications that slow contractions in the intestines such as anticholinergics and narcotics, gastric bypass, lapband, gastric sleeve surgery, smooth muscle disorders, gastroesophageal reflux disease, metabolic disorders, autoimmune, anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
*Idiopathic Gastroparesis has no known origin. Many diagnostic tests can be performed however it is still unknown to the medical profession the cause of those patients who suffer from this more rare type of Gastroparesis.
 
 
 
"The Gastroparesis Awareness Campaign Organization"
 
'GACO'
 Our mission is to spread world wide international public awareness and education for this debilitating GI disorder.
Reaching out to all Gastroparesis patients who feel alone. We are here for you. YOU my friends will never again walk alone.
 
The most important issue will be continued communication with local Government on increasing federal funds for research and development as well public awareness activities to educate all state citizens of Gastroparesis and other GI motility disorders. We will continue close communication with current bio-tech companies which are in their  final research stages of the new Gastroparesis drugs (diabetic GP patients-medications for Idiopathic patients still not being researched) due to come out on the market late 2011-2012. The fifth round for individual state Government aid helping to declare national awareness events for Gastroparesis Awareness will continue summer-winter 2010. 
 
*New project for 2010-GP Angel Wings.
*Don't forget to check out the Gastroparesis Awareness Campaign gear that is now available for ordering: 2010 t-shirts, calenders, car door magnetics, bracelets, window decals and tote bags.
Make sure to order your official Gastroparesis Awareness ribbon.
