I see that @lindamks already responded to your post. While I don't have the diagnosis of gastroparesis, I have a similar problem due to several surgeries of the digestive tract. I have found that a low residue diet works well for me. Here is some information about a low residue diet

As a result of the low residue diet, I have a lot of soups, where the vegetables are cooked well. I also make smoothies with different fruits, and I use Kefir in the smoothies, which adds probiotics.

Have you ever met with a pelvic floor therapist? They can be quite helpful.

I look forward to hearing from you again as you deal with this difficult digestive tract issue.

Thank you for so much information. I greatly appreciate it. I've never even heard of a pelvic flood specialist. The only doctor I've seen to potentially treat my stomach issues in a Gastrointestinal Doctor. I was referred to one when my Gastroparesis got worse most likely due to ozempic and I had surgical procedure to clean up my bedsores (in a wheelchair since I was 13, now 36) so my doctors think I suffered shock and trauma from increased pain. I honestly wish I had never took ozempic because the last year has been a nightmare. It worked great, but not worth the added side effects. I will look into the information you gave me.
