Blossom, I am very thankful that you have shared your experience. I am a bit surprised that you still experience gastroparesis and slowed motility sometimes -- somehow I thought you had recovered completely -- but what you describe also makes sense. As a matter of fact, the past couple of days I noticed a bit more hair falling, and realized that it coincided with slight under eating, as you say. Maybe for me, hair shedding is the signal at this time.
My lunch menu is still under construction, and that is where the slight under eating may have happened. Again, it's the restrictive thinking -- not too much starch, avoid pufa, etc. I'm aware of it, and trying not to get caught up in it. It may also have been poor meal planning. And, I'm wanting to eat nontraditional foods for lunch, so it's a question of finding what stimulates my taste buds, which seem to have changed.
Thanks for reminding me that all of this will take time. When I started feeling better a few weeks ago, I realized just that but it's easy to forget it. Your experience is also helpful in another way -- I know now that minor relapses are not uncommon.
I have dropped some of the Ayurvedic meds, but am continuing with a single dose of Triphala, and the Livercare. My bowel movements remain unchanged.
I don't know if I will do smartpill now. I have a requested instead a colonoscopy.
I went for a long, hilly walk a couple of times. My knees did fine, as did the muscles. I went slowly on the down incline, just to be safe.
It would be great if any other ED'ers out there also posted about their recovery and relapses. I imagine it would be helpful for all of us.
