Iberogast increases the emptying rate of my stomach, it seems, especially with harder to digest beef, ground beef too. Not so full and uncomfortably bloated.
I do not vomit. I do not feel nauseous. Sometimes I feel full but it is usually because I eat something too close to the next meal and my stomach can't process it that fast. Iberogast is designed to soothe your stomach and help with motility. it can't hurt to try it. It workis. My "meat portion" of a meal is at about 3-4 ounces. Fish I eat more of easily. I probably drink about 2 of my Equate a day. I am working with a wellness coach for my osteoporosis twice a week so I think that helps my gastroparesis but not sure. I also have to make sure that my meal is a few hours before the workout so I've times that for about 10:30 am. Then I drink an Equate an hour before. I am only 5'2" and 110 pounds so weight is hard to maintain We workout for an hour each time. I have been doing that for over 1 1/2 years. If anyone can verify that exercise helps gastroparesis, I would appreciate knowing that.
As I said, I've never been DXd with gastroparesis but my diet is very similar to yours and my eating is also similar. Small, frequent meals and they are all of a soft-nature. If I eat after I begin feeling full, I'm in trouble with nausea, etc. I've often found that a 10 minute walk after a meal with help a great deal. Tai-Chi has been a great exercise for me as it has very gentle movements that are relaxing and comfortable. Here is a short (9 minute) Youtube video that I use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxcNBejxlzs. (I'm not a fan of yoga.)
I'm also 5' and weigh 110 and have some other health problems that keep me from doing a lot of aerobic activity. I will give the Iberogast a try. I see that Amazon has a small bottle for just $20, so not much to lose if it doesn't help me. Thanks to you both!
Thank you @suemer for the information about Iberogast and about equate plus! Boost doesn’t taste very good to me so I’m looking forward to trying the equate. What favor do you prefer?
I’m confused about the Gastroparesis diet I was given when diagnosed last fall because a bezoar was found in my stomach. The diet is very similar to the one that Mayo has posted under Gastroparesis. My first question is about vegetables. The diet says no raw vegetables (of course) but well cooked vegetables are okay.
But the next entry is to avoid fibrous vegetable such as broccoli.
Does this mean that I can’t eat broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnip greens, spinach, green beans, etc. even if I cook them to death?
@suemer how do you cook your green vegetables? Roast like @hopeful33250 ? Or steam? Or in water? I used to eat roasted vegetables but I haven’t since switching to the Gastroparesis diet. I’ve been afraid they would not be soft enough. I didn’t know if asparagus would be considered like broccoli — a food the diet said I should avoid.

@pdilly One thing I didn't mention: Before I roast the veggies, the "tougher" ones I put in the microwave for a minute or two to soften them a bit. You can use any combination of veggies, so if asparagus isn't on your eating plan, just avoid that one.

In what way does Iberogast help you? Does it keep you from feeling nauseous, from vomiting, or feeling full quickly, etc.?
