Why is gastroparesis so difficult to diagnose and treat? In this episode, Sam chats with gastroenterologist Dr. Aditi Stanton to discuss the realities of living with and treating gastroparesis, one of the most challenging digestive disorders.

Dr. Stanton shares why gastric emptying studies don't tell the whole story, the biggest gaps in gastroparesis care, and why nutrition, patient advocacy, and strong communication between patients and providers are essential for better outcomes. They also talk about treatment approaches, the role of GI psychologists, stress and the gut-brain connection, and why managing chronic digestive diseases requires a personalized, multidisciplinary approach.

Whether you're living with gastroparesis, chronic nausea, vomiting, early satiety, or other GI motility disorders, this conversation offers practical insights from both the physician and patient perspectives.
