We are stars
Our mission is to improve the quality of life of children and adults with gastroparesis and other intestinal motility disorders. We want to raise awareness of this rare disease.



Gastrostars was founded by Emma Kok. Emma is supported by a passionate board. The main goal of our patient organization is to increase the understanding of others for our situation. With this, we want to make life a little easier and more bearable for all fellow sufferers. On this website we will publish stories, advice and news items in the near future, which we can share with others in our area, so that they will hopefully understand it better. By understanding it better, the environment can hopefully help you better, or maybe stop doing or saying some things. We also hope that these stories and advice will help you and make you stronger.
