Anyone diagnosed with Gastroparesis?

@jfar007, hello. I hear ya about opposite diet. I have kidney disease so have eliminated meat from my diet and most animal products (including most dairy) though I do eat eggs for the protein and have to limit whole grains. But I also have Type II diabetes which does call for whole grains and good fiber and limited carbs. Yet this conflicts with my diet for gastroparesis which limits fiber (thus eliminating many vegetables as a source of protein such as beans and nuts.) It's quite a balancing act. I received very little help from local dietitians with my renal diet so designed my own and after almost no help from the GI peeps have had to design a compromise diet which balances the three diets the best I can. Fortunately my local hospital is revamping its dietary department and is hiring "real" dietitians who are experts and will be offering one-on-one consultations early 2023. But I've already discussed my "compromise diet" with one of the new dietitians and it seems I'm on the right track. I will post what I find out later on but meanwhile I hope you can find a doc or dietitian who can help you balance the opposite diets.

Wow you definitely have more of a challenge than I do. Thank you for sharing - its just kind of depressing we have to learn to just accept it. Thanks so much for reaching out

Can you please share some of the foods that you can eat? I have SIBO, GP, and Kidney disease, with diabetes and IBS-D. It sure is a balancing act. Never know what will agree with me and also be healthy. I eat a lot of cold wild salmon, shredded chicken and egg salads, tuna fish, shrimp, scallops, cod, rockfish, oysters, lots of fish. Butter lettuce and berries. I just discovered sugar free apple pie, which has NO potassium!! Tried kale last night and I was in the bathroom all night. Argh...
