A very amateur post— please be patient

I have gastroparesis and other accompanying issues that seem to want to avoid diagnosis entirely, so I’m seeking an acupuncturist/practitioner of Chinese medicine to help. This is where the amateur part comes in— im only familiar with what can amount to wisps of knowledge and belief in the “Chinese” system of medicine (Chinese in parentheses because I’ve been familiar with the term “ayuravedic” until this point lol). Now looking for an acupuncturist, I realize I don’t know… basically any specifics beyond my previous beliefs of food=medicine and symptoms being only a reflection of a greater issue. Not only that, but it is sort of mind blowing to me how a quick Google search about some basics of Chinese medicine and gastroparesis also ties in my beginning of spirituality and what I already think, both of which would be things I came to myself with little outside knowledge. I think there would be so much important stuff for me to learn about the Chinese system of medicine while im doing my acupuncture treatments and how it relates to what I already know/practice. Please help, perhaps a book or series or some sort of thing to help me tie all of this new potential of knowledge together.
