@livwelleatwell: I had a gastric emptying scan done a few weeks ago and it was BORING 😴 lemme tell you about it! you start off by eating a radioactive egg so they can trace the food as it moves through your stomach. you have to fast a few hours prior so even though the egg was gross, I was just happy to eat something. my body does not like fasting because of my POTS and reactive hypoglycemia. then you go in and out of a CT scan as they track your digestion! it’s seriously very boring so bring a book with you! you’re just sitting around for 5 hours basically 😅 my results came back normal so it was nice to have a peace of mind, but still no answers to these mysterious GI issues! I haven’t shared much health stuff in a while because I don’t have answers but I hope this was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions! #tummyache #ibs #ibsawareness #stomachissues #gihealth #gastroparesis #mcas #potssyndrome
I survived radioactive eggs too. If you’re an hEDS zebra, results in “normal” range can still indicate gastroparesis which is just good for people to be aware of.

I’m having this done next week! What were your symptoms that led your doctor to order this to be done?

I will say, the oatmeal is hit or miss. It can throw a false normal. They made me bring my own bread, it’s weird they let you do it without! They usually do things by weight. Worst test ever lol

I’m going to be having one done also. Was already told I have gastroporesis years ago but my gastrointestinal doctor wants to do further testing

They didn't even give me a option with the 2 Pieces of toast with the egg whites 😂 I was so freaking full, and eating it all in the time they wanted was nearly impossible, guess I'm a slow eater 😂
