Hello Everyone, Happy Summer!
We are in the third quarter of the year
already. I just want to remind
everyone, success does not come from what
you do occasionally, but what you do
consistently. You are all hard working
individuals, with families of your own, we
know it is hard to be away from them for
long hours, or for the live in staff, weeks.
We appreciate everything you do for the
company and the clients. Please remember
to be as professional and courteous as you
can be to Clients, Families, and fellow staff
members. Respect for ourselves and others
is key to a successful outcome in all we do.
Being a professional is simple, you will just
be responsible, do your work to the best of
your ability, and follow all ethics and
compliance standards.
As always, stay safe, and hydrated, it is hot
this summer.
Best Regards,
Clement Pownall
Gastroparesis is a condition in which the muscles in the stomach don’t move food as they should for it to be digested.
Most often, muscles contract to send food through the digestive tract. But with gastroparesis, the stomach’s movement, called motility, slows or doesn’t work at all. This keeps the stomach from emptying well.
Often, the cause of gastroparesis is not known. Sometimes it’s linked to diabetes. And some people get gastroparesis after surgery or after a viral illness.
Certain medicines, such as opioid pain relievers, some antidepressants, and medicines for high blood pressure, weight loss and allergies can slow stomach emptying. The symptoms can be like those of gastroparesis. For people who already have gastroparesis,
these medicines may make the condition worse. Gastroparesis affects digestion. It can cause nausea, vomiting and belly pain. It also can
cause problems with blood sugar levels and nutrition. There’s no cure for gastroparesis.
But medicines and changes to diet can give some relief.
Symptoms
Symptoms of gastroparesis include:
