@catmomma, hi. Thanks for your input. Am planning to try a very few celery seeds next week and see how it goes.
Am not on dialysis for now but do follow a renal diet as much as I can and still follow a gastroparesis diet. I have to limit protein somewhat and watch phosphorus, potassium, sodium on a renal diet and limit fiber on a gastro diet and mostly have liquids, purees, and soft foods. It has been difficult for me to get enough nutrients without exceeding either a renal diet limit or a gastro limit and as a diabetic I have found it challenging to get the right amount of protein on a vegetarian diet without getting too much fat.
I do tolerate small amounts of dairy (it's in Boost, for instance) but otherwise avoid it.
Please share any insights or info or suggestions whenever you can and thanks again.

Hi,
Are you also trying to do gluten free, I am reading this thread and having difficulty determining that. The gastro diet does not demand gluten free, though it can help with some symptoms. You may be going too restrictive. Did a kidney specialist make recommendations as far as your diet goes-any recommendations at all. Diets as restrictive as I am seeing mentioned here are usually reserved for people on dialysis, though that is one area I am not an expert in. It is extremely difficult to eliminate certain foods without restricting the diet in other areas. What does your GI specialist say about diet? GI may be able to refer you to a dietitian who's more well-versed than I would be. Do you use Mayo? I feel reluctant to advise for this reason. I wish I know how to help.
What I hated about the standard gastro diet is that it does not feel very satisfying. I can well imagine you're running into that, depending on symptoms.
