What is Gastroparesis?
 
Gastroparesis is a digestive motility disorder where the vagus nerve is damaged and the muscles of the stomach and intestines do nor work thus become paralyzed.  This condition further delays food emptying from the stomach and intestines which results in serious complications and further gastrointestinal problems. 1 out of every 2 diabetics will develop Gastroparesis. This is 50 percent of all patients.
-Estimated number of Gastroparesis patients in the United States is over 5 million.
*Idiopathic Gastroparesis has no known cause however many tests can be run but the end result is still no known origin on why the stomach and intestines do not function properly.

"The Gastroparesis Awareness Campaign"
 main goal is to spread world wide public awareness for this debilitating GI disorder. 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 Tranzyme Pharma which is in the final research stages of the new Gastroparesis drugs soon to come out on the market-2010. The fourth round for Government to declare a national awareness event for Gastroparesis & Digestive Motility Awareness will continue though out 2008. We will be having additional fund raisers through out this year as well sending out small care packets to help bring smiles to those suffering with Gastroparesis. Make sure to visit again soon for additional Gastroparesis Celebrity Ribbon Run updates.
*Don't forget to check out the numerous Gastroparesis Awareness gear items that is now available: New 2008 shirt designs, calenders, magnetic calenders, bracelets, awareness postcards and coming soon hats, window decals and pens. Don't forget to order your *free official Gastroparesis Awareness ribbon.

 *Gastroparesis Patients Group*
Gastroparesis Yahoo online support group up and running!
 Yahoo online support group that gives Gastroparesis patients a chance to chat and have valuable support from other patients and their families around the world. Gastroparesis patient online support groups are a valuable tool because patients and their families can never have too much GP education or fellow Gastroparesis friends to provide much needed support. 
Happy Chatting in the USA & OVERSEAS!
