Safe Foods for Gastroparesis?

these days i don’t have many safe foods, but foods that sometimes work are smoothies, chicken broth, apple sauce, tea, diet coke, and nondairy ice creams. im mostly reliant on tube feeds but i still try to have some real foods when im having less nausea and pain

For me the mushier the foods the better, if it is really bad I’ll just drink an ensure instead of a meal.

When I’m in a flare or coming off one I go to the baby food aisle and get those pouches. They’re good for snacks and I like the ones that have apple, pear, sweet potato and occasionally banana

My list changes so much, but it’s mostly things that taste so good I don’t care that it hurts. Like my dad makes REALLY good chicken, and I refuse to not eat it, however I have gotten so nauseous from it that I threw it up one time. Other than that bargaining of pain vs. taste, I would suggest milk. It’s filling so you won’t be as starving when you’re unable to eat big enough portions, and it’s so neutral that it just doesn’t hurt. I’ve had gp for about 4 years now so if you have more questions please msg me

Cut out all high fibers!! I rarely have a salad, wheat bread, definitely no high wheat cereals. I stopped having spinach too and rather opted for smoothies and soups and even baby food packs sometimes. Eat small amounts and chew thoroughly. Exercise. Drink lots of water and make sure your b.m. stays regular. Otherwise you might have a problem :)

😥tube fed ??:(

Hi! As someone who was also just diagnosed I just wanted to say that. I don’t really know my safe foods right now because I am tube-fed. However, I remember baked potatoes and steamed carrots being safe foods for me before my diagnosis.

I kinda just eat what I want and hope I don’t get sick cause I’m an idiot. Anyways when it is really bad I usually go for white rice or some kind of pudding those tend to stay down unless I’m having one of those weeks where nothing stays down and I have to go to the hospital for fluids and a GI cocktail.

Pickles, hard candy, toast, pudding, soup, rice, potatoes

Bread, crackers, bagels, jello, most soups, frozen waffles, chicken nuggets, pudding, smoothies, oatmeal (or grits are a good breakfast warm cereal option if you’re GF), I tolerate plain sandwiches well too. Like just bread and sliced Turkey or ham or whatever. And ginger capsules help a lot with the nausea that used to be absolutely debilitating, like I couldn’t even work or barely even sleep it was so bad. But it’s soooo much better now. I don’t even feel nauseous usually now. And its a relief to have a natural option for relief for once.

Basically anything that's super processed, like pop tarts, cereal, bread, applesauce, that kind of thing. I can also tolerate chicken nuggets and ground meat like turkey or beef (when I'm having a good day).

generally anything that would turn to mush if left in water too long tends to be a fair bet. things chips, crackers, bread, dips & spreads, soups, oatmeal, pudding, cereal, stuff like that. the more you chew the better it tends to go i find, in regards to more solid food. the best tip i have, though, is remember everything will hit you much later than you expect, so if you still feel hungry after eating something, drink some water and wait a while, don’t eat more until you’re absolutely sure your stomach hasn’t revolted haha
