@wolfplur I am diabetic ((50+ years) and I have a fairly serious history of gastroparesis. A Mayo endocrinologist recommended Ozempic years ago when it was still fairly new. My local endocrinologist overruled that recommendation and prescribed something else. I researched Ozempic a bit at the time but did not realize gastroparesis is a rare but potential side effect. I’ve had gastroparesis for a very long time. It is now fairly well controlled but does act up from time to time. The most helpful treatment turned out to be dietary. It involves smaller (like a snack), more frequent (like every 2 hours), low fiber meals. It is tedious because I’m accustomed to 3 squares plus 3 snacks. High fiber is beneficial for blood sugar control; so I don’t like the low fiber idea. A few years back I was also diagnosed with diverticulosis / diverticulitis. That responds to high fiber! My primary advised me to experiment between high & low fiber to find a happy medium and what works best for me personally. Here’s hoping you can find what works for you to achieve optimal weight and keep gastroparesis beat down.
