Dealing with Gastroparesis: My Frustrating Journey

I also have it. I have been pit on an allergy diet because I have to drink most of my calories anyway and I take metoclopramide and Linzess.

Hi, I was diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2012. A really good resource for me was the book Living Well with Gastroparesis. The author goes over safe foods and how to add things safely back into your diet after not really being able to eat. I have found over the years that having 5-6 small meals a day every 3 hours is the most helpful and trying not to get too hungry. The hunger nausea is hard to get control of on top of the overall nausea. Taking small walks after eating or even using a heating pad has also been helpful with digestion. Hope this helps!

Feel free to message me! I have moderate idiopathic GP and I’ve learned a bunch of tips and tricks while waiting for treatment! I’m still waiting for treatment actually haha. It’s hard, and there’s only so much you can do alone. But the most important thing is that there are ways to manage symptoms , even if just a little bit

I was diagnosed with Sever Gastroparisis in 2020. After being violently ill for 18 months. I lost 130 lbs in that time. I was so sick for almost a year and a half after my diagnosis & then in October of 2021 i had to have all my teeth removed. November was the last month i vomited. I have to have soft food that i can chew so its easier for my stomach to process. I have put about 50 lbs on since November. Oh & stay away from hot dogs. I have been violently ill for weeks after eating hot dogs till i could finally throw them up 3 times. They would be moldy. My stomach wouldnt process them. My suggestion start eating like a toddler. Really soft foods are easier to digest.

I have it also I take movantik it helps with mine some. My Dr. Told me to eat small meals 4 to 5 times a day and if it gets real bad try the BRAT diet.
