Gastroparesis diet?

They took me off reglan. It wasn't working anyway. Right now I'm eating mashed potatoes yogurt smoothies cottage cheese applesauce and that's about it. Feel better but really miss meat

Not sure if you mean "red" meat, but if not, you can definitely finely chop or ground up turkey, chicken, fish I've used a small cuisinart chopper/blender that works well. You can also add chicken broth or veg broth to make the meat a bit softer or moist. Also, don't forget about eggs (egg salad w/low or nonfat mayo, scrambled or soft boiled, etc) and tuna canned in water. May want to consider a multi-vitamin if not eating much. Thx for sharing the tests and your results.

Unfortunately eggs are a no go right now. I haven't been digesting them and end up throwing up 😞

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.

Did you try egg whites without the yolk diced finely? Yolks can be harder to digest but neither may work.

sfagan74,
I can eat ground chicken and turkey. I also cook poultry in my slow cooker pot until is very tender. I also eat baked or broiled fish.
I do not eat whole nuts, instead I use almond, pistachio and walnut butters. These are good sources of protein.
I can only eat egg whites. I have problems digesting the yolk ( too much fat). I try to eat only 2 grams of fiber with a meal. I am lactose intolerant and I also have gluten sensitivity. Along with gastroparesis I have Cohn's, GERD, SIBO, hiatal hernia and diverticula. It is a constant struggle! Stay strong!

Now I found out my new insurance won't cover liquid medications even with y diagnosis. I'm so frustrated

Anyone ever have to do a GI psychology appointment?

When you are having a flare up your diet should be liquid. Once that has passed introduce thick liquids. There is a book ‘Living ( well!) with Gastroparesis by Crystal Zaborowski CHC. My book was published in 2011 so I’m sure there are later ones.
You should eat 6 small meals/day. When eating chew well until food is mashed potato consistency. Avoid a lot of fiber,spicey foods, foods that can cause ‘gas’ and many fresh vegetables.Once in the chronic stage you can try different foods to find the ones you can tolerate. No two people are alike. Carbs. are my best friend but I still have to watch the fiber. Oatmeal is good for you but it has a lot of fiber.
I was diagnosed after many emergency room visits and stays in the hospital with many tests in 2014. I still have ups and downs.
I hope I have helped you.

Regarding your medication not being covered by insurance, I would suggest you find out the manufacturer and see if they offer the medication at a lower price and/or sometimes for free depending on your financial status. Most, if not all companies have what they call an assistance program. Don't automatically think you would not qualify because you may be surprised. Of course, there is paperwork involved.
The psych appt is likely to help with any stress, poor sleep, etc due to gastroparesis (GP). Stress, lack of sleep can cause GP symptoms to worsen or flare up. Several studies have shown that "cognitive behavioral therapy" helped people suffering from IBS or Functional Dyspepsia so a lot of places are trying it with GP patients now.
