I’m confused about the Gastroparesis diet I was given when diagnosed last fall because a bezoar was found in my stomach. The diet is very similar to the one that Mayo has posted under Gastroparesis. My first question is about vegetables. The diet says no raw vegetables (of course) but well cooked vegetables are okay.
But the next entry is to avoid fibrous vegetable such as broccoli.
Does this mean that I can’t eat broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnip greens, spinach, green beans, etc. even if I cook them to death?
<p>HlCan you tell me how you handle gastroparesis through diet? Do you concentrate on liquid diets? Anything else? Have you tried CBD oil?<br />Thanks. Danyl</p>
Cbd helps alot. With nausea. Just cook your veggies down good. No nuts or fibrous foods. Alot of broth when your sick. Water water water lol or dehydration

I have recently been diagnosed with Gastroparesis and am struggling with foods to eat. I am doing smaller meals and have gone gluten free due to a gluten sensitivity found during some testing. I am having problems with constipation without the high fiber foods. Did the dietician suggest low fiber? Thanks.
I agree. That’s why I added fiber back to my diet. I don’t think we with Gastroparesis should cut out fiber — we should cut out fibrous foods. There’s a difference.

I was advised to try to reduce fiber to avoid getting a block. 30 grams of fiber woul be the rda, I try to keep mind afound 15. Oikos triple 0 yogurt is a good source of probiotics, natural sweetener, protein and fiber. Its also very digestible. Also there are many good tracking apps that can help keep track of nutrition, calories, water intake and exercise. I'm a diabetic so its always a challenge to get it all right. My body usually tells me if I've eaten something that doesn't digest well.
@1950 I have a problem with constipation so I take the generic version of Metamucil from a health food store. Started out with 1 teaspoonful in 8oz. glass of water swallowed quickly before it gels, followed by another 8oz glass of water (you could try juice if preferred). Takes a couple of days to to take effect and you cannot miss more than a day. A couple of weeks later I increased it to two teaspoonful, then a tablespoon, and now at the suggestion of my gastroenterologist I take two tablespoonfuls.I prefer the generic psyllium husks because it is cheaper than Metamucil - and it is unflavoured. Don’t have a problem with constipation at all any more.
Was diagnosed w/ gastroparesis a month ago. Despite altering my eating habits and meds, trying to get strength (and weight) back has been difficult. Suggestions welcome to combat this. (trying to get back to at least 140-150lbs. Lost almost 30lbs. this past year alone. Need to get some padding back on. All other tests (endo, colonoscopy) came up negative.
I lost 20 pounds before the gastroparesis diagnosis. My GI doctor said to eat six small low fiber meals a day. A dietician added protein drinks. We now have an adjustable bed and keep the head raised.

I eat what I can tolerate. If it makes me sick I don't eat it again.

1 ReactionWhen I cut out too many fiber foods I feel that I am lacking in good nutrition. Plus it adds to the constipation problem.
