Yes. Mine are not connected. RA since December 2018 and gastropressis since 2009. No one has ever said they are connected but honestly they don’t care enough to give it any thought. I have learned over the years what to eat and not eat to keep from being in pain. Protein is the hardest for me to process. Everything I eat takes at least 6/7 hours to process. I am now going down the road to eat anti inflammatory foods.

I have had gastroparesis for years and they could not figure out why. 4 years ago we figured it out when I was diagnosed with Sjogrens. It usually picks one organ system to attack and it chose my digestive track. Sjogrens is a sexondary autoimmune disease most of the time. Mine is secondary to RA. Has you rheumatologist ever said anything about Sjogrens to you?

My UVA doctor told me when I was diagnosed to follow the UVA gastroparesis diet. And I did not do it because you’re not supposed to eat That kind of food because it makes you fat but it is processed in your belly so quickly

Yes, @A myRAteam Member, i have the same issue with protein. I thought protein shakes would be perfect, but so much pain and nausea. Zofran is my friend.
