Severe gastroparesis and why this class is a poor fit — one year on — setting out what I have, and where I think it stops being reliable.

Asking about Severe gastroparesis directly, because I have read four threads on it and each answered a slightly different question.

The version I want answered is the narrow one: given the method stated below, is the result within what anyone else has seen? I am not asking what it means yet.

Method, numbers and the two assumptions I am aware of making are below. If the assumptions are wrong that is more useful to me than agreement.

Post #11 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

I have no financial interest in anything named in this thread and I want to say so before I comment on Severe gastroparesis, because it is the sort of subject where it matters.

LJankowiak, post #4: Confirming post #3 from a second method, which matters more than confirming it from a second person. Severe gastrointestinal disease interacts with a delayed-emptying mechanism and appears in the labelling for that reason. Go to post

Post #18 put the caveat in the right place and I want to underline it.

A caution and a contraindication are different levels and the difference is not stylistic. Conflating them makes the labelling sound more restrictive than it is.

The confident version of this sentence would be wrong, so here is the hedged one.

Narrowing post #23, because the general version has more than one answer.

The claim about Severe gastroparesis upthread is stronger than its source supports. I have read the source. The source says "associated with" and the post says "causes".
