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 many are still left untreated, suffering in silence.
*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 the more rare type of Gastroparesis.
"The Gastroparesis Awareness Campaign
Organization"
mission is to spread world
wide international 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 current bio-tech companies which are in their final research stages of the new Gastroparesis
drugs due to come out on the market late 2010-early 2011. The fifth round for individual state Government aid
helping to declare national awareness events for Gastroparesis Awareness will continue through 2009. There
will be additional projects this year as well sending out care packets to help bring smiles to those suffering
with Gastroparesis. Make sure to visit again soon for updates.
*Don't forget to check out the numerous Gastroparesis
Awareness gear items that are now available: 2009 t-shirts, mousepads, car door magnetics, bracelets,
window decals and coming soon hats. Don't forget to order your official Gastroparesis Awareness ribbon.
TOGETHER WE WILL FIGHT FOR A CURE!
