www.Gastrotees.com is an online retail store that raises awareness for people who are struggling with chronic Gastrointestinal issues like Gastroparesis, Crohn's and Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Gastric Cancer, Digestive Tract Paralysis (DTP) Condition, gallbladder issues and more. This company is also for the tireless family, friends and supporters of people suffering with these illnesses.My sister Maria is quite sick, and has had gastroparesis since 2007. In 2008 she had her first feeding tube and by 2012, she lost her stomach altogether. Every night she hooks up to an IV system called TPN and receives her nutrition in liquid form. She survives on 1500 calories a day. She is the reason I have started this company and she is my inspiration.I try to take Maria's stories, experiences, feelings, hopes, and fears and express them in a graphic way. I am not a graphic designer by trade or education, so I can't really do overly complex designs however I partner with insanely talented individuals who can take our ideas and turn them into something beautiful! I look for fun and sometimes funny ways of expressing common feelings associated with being chronically ill. I try not to be totally exclusive in the message of the shirts as I like to offer our shirts to a wider audience.Every month Gastrotees supports a different gastrointestinal charity, association, organization or group and a minimum of $5 from every item sold is donated directly to that charity.Follow Gastrotees on Twitter at @gastrotees, like us on www.facebook.com/gastrotees to keep up to date with our contributions to the charities, and to tweet photos of you wearing our shirts using #GASTROTEES and #GIAwareness.
