Another good resource is https://www.livingwellwithgastroparesis.com/ Crystal has gastroparesis and has a ton of information. I was wondering if you could share the 3 tests that you had done and what your results were. I'm just curious what criteria and test Mayo uses. Thx

Gastric emptying study
Small bowel clonic transit study
Anorectal Manometry
All studys i failed

I’ve had gastroparesis since 2005 and totally agree Crystal’s website and books were a life saver to me especially back then not as widely known and treated. I’ve had times I could only do liquid and couldn’t even eat gerber baby food but I have eaten it along the way for nutrition and easy digestion. I highly recommend keeping a food diary as no two gastroparesis patients are the same in relation to triggers etc.

In addition to Crystal’s information, I follow the concepts in the phased diet approach from Jackson gastroenterology stepping up and down through levels 1-3 depending on symptoms. I used to take erythromycin during flareups and otherwise tried to manage thru diet.

I did boost breeze and v8 peach mango diluted when I could only do liquids to get nutrition in. Small amounts at a time and easy to digest foods. Some level of exercise movement even if walking around the house especially after eating.

Have patience and stay strong it’s
A journey.
