Yes, after 2 years just diagnosed this week with gastroparesis. Miserable. They say diet is the best way to help but I know everyone is different. My main problem is constipation but I have other things going on in my digestive tract. I also have scar tissue on my colon and diverticula. I also have autoimmune disease, which there is autoimmune gastroparesis. I'm ready to meet Jesus

Hello @catc51 and welcome to the Digestive Health support group on Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found this forum as there are many members with gastroparesis and many who have found a way to lessen the symptoms. I see that @bradyozzie has discussed their experience with this disorder and what has helped her. I would encourage to read the posts in this group and see what might be helpful to you.

I have very similar symptoms, most likely resulting from three surgeries of the digestive tract over a 20-year time period. I learned from others on this forum that a low residue diet can be helpful, so I gave it a try and it has made a world of difference for me. It still requires constant attention to diet, exercise and drinking lots of fluids, but the pain and constipation are definitely better.

What type of eating/exercise plan are you currently following?
