Gastroparesis Diet FAQ: Eating for Gastroparesis

I suffered terribly for over a year before they told me I had gastroparesis. They kept telling me it was all anxiety related since all the tests I had done didn't show anything. Finally I got the right doctor and when she told me the diagnosis was gastroparesis. I began to try and follow the diet. Now it is bearable but still painful and over whelming. I am 63 and I have never heard of this before. It's hard. I bought your book Living with Gastroparesis and have learned more about it. Dr. just told me she thought I would be a good candidate for the neurotransmitter. I am still having difficulty with the diet. I lost energy and almost 30 pounds. Your videos are encouraging. Thanks but I am hoping I can get back to having more energy and less pain soon because there was a point where I just wanted to give up.

Pea protein shakes became my life and no more pain. I use digestive enzymes too

Sauerkraut was listed as a food to avoid; however I read that fermented foods such as sauerkraut are good for GP...just asking for an answer, GP and digestion are such conflicting topics to research

just learning on the food part,

Hello! Can you discuss the emptying scan test. There seems to be allot of studies out there that conflict against the doctors timeline on diagnosis. For instance if you empty 98% of food from your stomach at the 4 hour mark , means you only have 2% left in your stomach , many studies say this is normal range, they say if you have 10% left in your stomach after 4hours than your positive. What is your take on this ??? It appears many ppl are wrongly getting diagnosed. Can we discuss??? Love to talk to u

Hello I just had a quick question. I have read conflicting information about fiber supplements. Some people say that fiber powder will do you harm for people with gastroparesis and possibly make it worse. Is this true? Also I recently found a product by a company called it works and the product is called greens. It is supposed to promote digestion because it has enzymes and probiotics in it and also claims to have eight servings of fruits and vegetables in every serving. Have any of you with gastroparesis tried this? How did it work for you

What about if you have gastroparesis Plus driver tickler how do you combine eating that'll help both conditions

I know it sounds crazy but since I have been diagnosed the only things I can eat is tuna fish with crackers, boiled or baked shrimp and blue berries. Anything else sends me into horrible stabbing stomach pain that leads to vomiting and being curled up in the fetal position for 6-8 hours. Eating is just not worth it anymore

I have been recently diagnosed with this but they say weight loss is a big factor.... but I'm overweight. Can you explain this? Or help me understand it?
