I was diagnosed four yrs ago, but had symptoms much longer than that from a surgery for my hiatal hernia…. portions really matter & for me I eat frequently & small…. I don’t mix meat with other foods…. No fresh veggies or fruits…. If I do they are really cooked or baked…. Chicken, fish, eggs, or ground meats…. I actually can eat small amounts of steak occasionally, but not regularly…..mostly I nibble some of my husband’s….. Biggest help has been walking after eating…..life saver…. Cannot take any meds per RX. except Zofran will settle my stomach & helps if bloating gets uncomfortable….
Something also that helps is I fast most days & only drink coffee or tea for breakfast until about noon or so…. Usually there is plenty of food left in my stomach from day before….. I try not to eat past 6:30 pm, but do have plenty of fluids….. another thing is I don’t drink fluids while eating a meal…. I fill up too fast….. I did a lot of research on line & my own listening to my body…. My gastroenterologist was no help just dismissed me with if you can’t tolerate the meds, then I can’t help you…. From Mayo Clinic I found out that I’m lactose intolerant & that helped, but their dietitian was no help!!!! I knew more than she did through all my research & what I could tolerate from my own eating practices….. write it down & any symptoms that you did or didn’t have…. I know it helped me that I’m a retired RN, but when you’re the patient it gets real…. Remember though you are in control & work what works for you. Walking has been the real help & small portions….. Big Big….Family Support is My Biggest Support…. Good Luck….
