The Mayo Clinic has great info on the gastroparesis diet. I avoid foods high in fat, sugar and fiber. Generally, this produces favorable results. I, however, have had a pyloromyotomy which causes the valve responsible for emptying my stomach to open 100% every time it sporadically opens. My stomach would not empty without this surgical intervention (pre-intervention surgery, after 4 hours, 90% of an egg white and toast remained in my stomach; post-intervention surgery, the egg white and toast had cleared my stomach). If you don't know how effective your stomach is emptying (or not), please ask your doctor for a nuclear gastric emptying study. If your stomach is not emptying, diet matters, but in a different way (i.e., what is going to produce gas and bloating as food remains in the stomach verses, what will cause gas, bloating and diarrhea in your intestines). Foods high in fat, sugar and fiber, without fail cause me almost instant diarrhea and horrific stomach cramping. Most of the time, if I avoid these foods, my stomach and intestines function fairly well. Sometimes, though, it literally does not matter what I eat, my stomach and my intestines react almost immediately and in a bad way. I have spent a lot of time with a heating pad on my stomach trying to ease pain. My Mayo doctor just prescribed Hyosciamine (nor sure of the spelling) which I put under my tongue if I feel stomach cramping and diarrhea coming on. It seems to help most of the time. I hope my response and my experiences are helpful. Gastroparesis is hard to live with.
