@parrotlady a
The Nissen surgery done at my local central Iowa hospital was supposed to fix GERD and the Hiatal Hernia... for 2 months while I lost 50 pounds the Local GI and surgeon tried to figure out what was wrong.. at Mayo MN the GI doc figured it out one day...with 3 tests.. The nerve damage is not fixable.. so since 2015 every meal is a challenge.. I must eat very often. ..seems like continually.. grazing I would call it.. cut food small.. chew well.. eat less than 1/2 your normal portions at a time.. Pause as you eat.. I drink Pedialyte so I can stay hydrated without drinking so much water.. I have gained back 30 pounds but keeping up weight is a battle.. I can eat nuts, fruit, ground meats.. avoid hard to digest cabbage, broccoli.. good luck, lady.. ..I eat ice cream with strawberries very often..

I have severe gastroparesis and barrett's esophagus and chronic pancreatitis and severe malabsorption. I am on a feeding tube and pump fed into my small intestines. I take Zofran 8mg that dissolve on my tongue. I take it continually. Sibo is a monthly problem. I recently lost 15 pounds for no reason. I am struggling to gain weight but it won't happen. I'm 96 lbs and 5'5 my BMI is 16. It's horrible. I got this when I was 49. I'm now 63. I am not getting any answers from my gastroenterologist and I am finally going to Shands Hospital for another opinion. I have been to all 3 Mayo Clinics and one 3 time's. I need answers because this is awful. If I find anything helpful I will share. Hang in there 🙏

I was told I shouldn’t eat nuts, fresh fruit or vegetables because they’re hard to digest.
