David N. Sundwall, MD the Executive Director of Utah's Department of Health has declined any awareness programs in his state of Utah helping to raise awareness and provide public education to his state citizens and health professionals of Gastroparesis and Digestive motility.
Mr. Sundwall feels there is no need for such public education or awareness in the state of Utah and believes that Gastroparesis is mostly only caused by diabetes.
Please sign this petition and lets stand up together and help to overturn his decision in the great importance of such a worthy cause to educate his state citizens and health professionals of Gastroparesis. No individual should suffer in silence.
The feedback I have received from those living with this condition demonstrates that the current lack of medical education is a genuine crisis. I am currently preparing a formal letter to challenge the department's dismissive stance on the diverse causes of digestive motility. Your contributions continue to provide the necessary leverage to demand a more comprehensive health strategy.

The momentum behind this petition highlights a collective refusal to accept silence regarding digestive health. This growing support reinforces our commitment to ensuring that the needs of our community finally receive the attention they deserve from state leadership.

I live in Utah and suffer from NON diabetic gp. There are no specialists here to help me and I suffered serious injury from Reglan.

THIS IS SO TRUE. My doctor had never even heard of my condition. We need someone in charge who actually cares about patients.

Ridiculous that they wont even listen. I lost my job because I cant eat anything and had to travel out of state just to get a basic diagnosis.

NOT DIABETIC. I have idiopathic GP and it has ruined my life. Stop saying it is just for diabetics!

My daughter has been sick for years and nobody here knows what to do for her. It is so frustrating being told it is all in her head.

I have been bedridden for months. Doctors just keep guessing and prescribing meds that dont work. We need real experts in Utah.
