Bloating is common but can signal serious conditions like gastroparesis; the article follows Emily Karp’s journey to a diagnosis after seeing a gastroenterologist, highlighting the importance of listening to your body and tracking foods, symptoms, and stress to identify triggers. Seek medical advice if bloating is persistent or accompanied by ongoing pain, weight loss, changes in bowel habits, vomiting, or symptoms that don’t improve with lifestyle changes.

Rare Illness Forces a Mom to Live on $14K-a-Week IV Nutrition

Shayla Talei, a 31-year-old mom of two, lives with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and gastroparesis, a condition that prevents her from digesting solid food.

She documents her daily routine on TikTok to explain the realities of living with these conditions and the costs, while noting insurance helps but she’ll always have some medical debt.
