The digestive system needs fiber and whole grains to move properly. Up your fiber foods.
This is not only wrong, it could make it worse. If you have gastroparesis, a LOW fiber diet is recommended. Fiber and whole grains will NOT stimulate the vagus nerve!!! Worse yet, eating a lot of fiber can actually cause bezoars. You really shouldn't give out half hearted holistic advice. This could really cause harm!!! I hope that anyone here with gastroparesis knows better than to load up on fiber...you may end up at the ER with a bezoar blocking your intestines!
Yep. I had a nuclear egg sandwich one day and then nuclearized apple juice. I'm also waiting on a small intestine enjoying test. But, yeah, that means you have gastroparesis. The question is, how severe. That will dictate what kind of diet you need to follow.
Yes. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis a few months ago. Had bloating, horrible nausea, loss of 9 pounds I didn’t intend nor needed to lose, and acid reflux. Took tests noting I too have slow movt of food . My GI specialist
told me to cook my fruits and vegetables. Eat small portions . Eat slowly. Pepcid OTC helps. Felt much better but have a flare up now. Found that drinking hot Turmeric tea and ginger ( comes in a tea bag) is great, soothing, and love it mid day or after a meal. It’s herbal. There are no “ cureall” for this condition. Walking regularly ( try walking after a meal) has been helpful as well.
I had a Neuclear medicine test about five years ago, it showed I had significant gastro paresis. My gastro consultant died and I was never recalled to see anyone else, so didn't get any advice. I live with daily spewing and feeling bloated. I have a few auto immune conditions so the dizziness, and light-headedness, tiredness pain in chest, back pain etc. that others mention, can also tie in with them. I regulate my diet, not a lot of fibre, red meats aren't good, drink plenty of water, found that white sourdough bread works better for me than any other bread.
I had the same nuclear egg study done back in November to diagnose this. As far as I know this test is the only true way to confirm gastroparesis, although I know of some people who had that test come back normal and actually do have gastroparesis.
