When you live with a chronic illness, half the battle is getting taken seriously.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Hida to talk all things communication, advocacy, and gastroparesis treatment. From tips on how to talk to your doctor (and what to do when you’re being ignored) to a deep dive into G-POEM—the promising procedure that’s helping many patients find relief—we’re covering it all. We also explore what the future holds for treatment and how patients can stay empowered, even in a broken system.

Because surviving gastroparesis isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about fighting for care that actually helps.
