-Avoiding/limiting certain foods that do not digest well: legumes, seeds, nuts, red meats that are not shredded or ground….
-Making sure to chew my food incredibly well. (I am always the last person finished with a meal no matter what the size.)
-Walking after meals.
I’ve have not tried a stimulator.
When having a flair up I use a neck massager on my belly area. I also take prescribed pancreatic enzymes. Walking helps as well.
I was diagnosed with “delayed gastric emptying”. Specialist said it may be genetic or mild gastroparesis. So I guess maybe.
I often just consume liquids. I find they feel much better in my stomach.
My biggest problem is that I have no appetite at all. I often forget to eat lunch and the other meals are often very small. I find it difficult to maintain my body weight.
I was diagnosed with gastroparesis many years ago. My Endo gave me a pill, and right now, I can’t think of the name. The pill did nothing for me. I do avoid certain foods, including, lettuce, kale, cabbage, spinach (although, I still eat them in very small amounts), vinegar (pickles), legumes (but I still eat some, with problems).
I take Omeprazole, but it does not speed up the process. It is more for indigestion, which I get very often.
I was told not to eat all the foods that are “good” for you- fruit and vegetables with skin,
walnuts and popcorn among other things. Sounds insane. Still working on that restriction.
