Gastroparesis, sometimes called delayed gastric emptying, is uncommon and little known, so you may never have met another person who has it. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with long-term illness, where members know what it is like when eating becomes a daily struggle.

Topic context

Understanding gastroparesis

Gastroparesis slows the emptying of the stomach, which can cause nausea, vomiting, pain and feeling full after a few bites. Some people rely on liquid nutrition or a feeding tube, and because it is uncommon, few people around them have heard of it.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with gastroparesis

Peer support can help with gastroparesis because so much social life is built around food. A group is a place to connect with people that does not involve a meal.

Inside the room

What gastroparesis groups often cover

  • Nausea and the fear of eating
  • Social events that revolve around meals
  • Living with a feeding tube or liquid diet
  • Explaining a condition nobody has heard of

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Who these groups may help

  • People diagnosed with gastroparesis
  • People using tube feeding or liquid nutrition
  • Anyone who feels alone with a little-known condition, and their caregivers

Frequently asked questions

Can I find a gastroparesis group here?

Not one for gastroparesis alone. Because few people have heard of it, this page shows groups for people with chronic illness in general, plus gentle sessions.

Will other members understand a condition they have not heard of?

Members live with many different illnesses, and what they share is the experience of being unwell in a world that does not see it.

Can I join when I feel too sick to talk?

Yes. You can listen or use the chat on days when speaking is too much.

Where can I find medical information about gastroparesis?

G-PACT, the Gastroparesis Patient Association for Cures and Treatments (g-pact.org), supports patients and caregivers, and niddk.nih.gov has a plain-language guide.
