Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!

I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis about 2 years ago.
I have stuck to a diet given to me by a dietitian.
Gastroparesis is not a static disease so sometimes what I eat puts me in bed for a few days and then I can eat the very same foods and feel great!
I lost 30 pound in 2019 and have only gained 4 pounds back.
My constipation is not bad since I began using this formula before bed. 2 tablespoons.
I cup oat brand
1 cup applesauce
3/4 cup prune juice.
I mix in a Tupperware bowl and keep refrigerated and take 2 tbsp before bed along with a small amount of Milk of Magnesium Saline.
Although I have bowel movements somedays I cramp all day.
I eat no raw veggies or fruits, no meat other than boiled, baked or grilled chicken or fish ( no skin ever)! However sometimes I still cramp all day!!!
I am looking into a procedure where the pyloric valve is widened to let foods pass easier.
We will see if this works. I get lots of exercise except on sick days.

I hope this might help you.

Hi,
I, too, have been diagnosed with Gastroparesis. I am struggling to figure out my diet. I am wondering if you would be willing to share with me what you eat and how often you eat. It is really a strange diet to try to get used too.
For my constipation my doctor said I should use a capful of Miralax every morning with my coffee. It has worked very well for me and is easy to take with my coffee. I would also be happy to answer any questions you might have of me. Thanks for sharing your experience with this disease.
