What is the life expectancy of someone with Gastroparesis?

Depends on the extent of the gastroparesis. You could have a somewhat manageable case, but you know what? You don't know what tomorrow can bring. For those with a severe case, once their bodies reject tube feeding and their body weight plummets, the body begins to consume itself and major organs shut down. For some they could live 30 years.... who knows and some succumb in 5 years. This question hasn't no definitive answer- impossible to answer

You could die a week after being diagnosed, or 90 years. It all depends on the frequency and severity of symptoms/complications.

Life expectancy doesn't change due to Gastroparesis unless the person is in really bad shape and about to die due to some complications like malnutrition that is not fixable or an infection, just as examples. However Gastroparesis does not change life expectancy itself despite being the cause that complications arise.

Complications like malnutrition, dehydration, infection, etc can lead to death or make it seem like someone may lose their battle when they actually recover unlike the person who passes away. Some medications may lead to other illnesses that can bring down life expectancy if you develope complications.

Gastroparesis has life threatening complications but if it is a manageable case, it is very possible to live a full (length wise) life with gp as far as we are currently aware. Be cautious with gp as it is very easy to dehydrate.

Many people I know about personally have passed and their age ranges from babies, toddlers, kids, teens, young adults all the way to older adults. It doesn't have an age expectancy. Anyone of any age can survive or pass depending on circumstances.

That can be scary but remember if you do what you need to do you can expect a long life with good reason. Don't expect to die because while many people with g.p. have been passing its circumstantial.

Gastroparesis isn't fatal but complications are. No way to determine

Gastroparesis guarantees that I cannot feed my body like I should. I have heart failure hut cannot eat a heart-healthy diet...too much fiber. The gastroparesis diet is by nature completely unpredictable - most days I can manage a meal drink. Most days I can eat only the most empty of solid foods. Processed, fiberless, nutrition-poor.
I've reached out to 5 registered dieticians and 2 doctors, and none have really helped.

I always feel panicked. I've watched mom and little brother due of heart failure without gastroparesis. How long will my heart hold out? 1 year? 5? 10?

It's hard when you're held responsible for your diet but lack useful guidance.
