Does post-viral gastroparesis ever go away? If so, timeframe for recovery? Dx'd 6/13, symptoms started 1/13 after rotavirus. Could use some hope. :(
Have you ever seen anyone actually recover from gastroparesis? I have recently been diagnosed and have no other health issues. So my doctor is hopeful that it's post viral gastroparasis. I just want to know that one day I might get my life back. Thank you
