We
were going to write a detailed piece based on COVID19 studies and the increased risks we believe people with
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome,
Dysautonomia, Mast Cell Activation Disorder and
Gastroparesis
and other comorbidities face should they catch the virus.
We figured it's probably best to explain a bit about the Gastroparesis Pie Face Challenge seeing as we’re asking you to let yourself get creamed for GP, right?
Right...
Andrew Belliveau has Gastroparesis. He also has some great ideas, including the Gastroparesis Pie Face Challenge that has seen sporting celebs in the US and normal people like us getting creamed in the face for a very good cause.
Read the inspiration behind the pies in this
exclusive interview from our
2017 GP editorial special.
Co-written with
Gastroparesis: Fighting For Change
creator Melissa Van Houten, our 'This is...' series has the facts about another condition that comes with
EDS/HSD.
Get the facts about stomach paralysis
and learn how to say it.
