I was diagnosed with gastroparesis about a year ago. With a drastic change in. I haven't looked back. I go through spells of acid reflux but not nearly as bad as when I was at my worst. I avoid green vegetables (except spinach) and salad. I don't eat nuts or anything high fiber. Only eat bananas and melons for fruit. As I say, I follow a very restrictive diet and have to balance my nutrients, but it is so worth it to avoid such extreme illness. I need to be very careful because I have diabetes. I am regularly on the lookout for new research as so very little of it in the UK. All my research has been via US websites to date, where there are a few recipe sheets and food lists to eat/avoid.

I have type 1 diabetes and from not controlling my blood sugars I developed gastroparesis. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and it has been the hardest time of my life. The only thing I can eat without vomiting is chicken noodle soup. The soup has kept me out of the hospital for three days. I can't make plans with friends and family because I never know how I'm going to feel.

I was diagnosed with gastroparesis about three months ago. I had an endoscopy and upper GI done. My stomach was still full after a 14-hour fast. I'm sick all the time. I can only tolerate mashed potatoes, boiled noodles, white rice, and white bread. Even after that, I have heartburn and burning in my throat.

I had gallbladder surgery Oct 2010. Things got worse for me after that. Was diagnosed with Gastroparesis Feb 2012. I take domparidone. Doesn't really help. Things progressively are getting worse for me. Pain, nausea, lost over 60 lbs, already have hashimoto thyroidist disease, get full, can't eat much.

I was diagnosed with gastroparesis following a gastric emptying study. I was put on a diet of no fresh fruits and vegetables, no fiber, no beef, pork or shell fish, and no fat. I can have cooked apples, peaches, pears, cooked beets, winter squash, yams, potatoes, white bread, eggs, poultry, and fish. I seem to tolerate chocolate, sweets, and dairy. I've gained more than 10 pounds in the past six months since my diagnosis because I can't have foods that satisfy my appetite that are good for me. I seem to turn to refined cabohydrates way too much. When I try to cut down I feel sick, weak, and shakey. I wish someone could find a set of menus I could follow that would help me lose weight. I am just thankful I'm not a lot worse. When I stay away from the foods I've been told not to eat the nausea is gone and I feel much better than I have for years.

A gastric emptying test (1.5 hours). Nothing had emptied my stomach. I've had problems with reflux and nausea for over 20 years, but was just diagnosed with gastroparesis. I was put on reglan 10 mg. Times times a day, but developed depression, crying, etc. Now, I'm taking it at night only and have a prescription for a drug for nausea that cancer patients take. But I feel awful. Full, bloated and nauseous. I guess i need to make an appointment with my gastro doctor. She said I can take domperidone, a drug from Canada, but I have to get it online because it's not available in the U.S.

I was diagnosed with gastroparesis with the nuclear test. My most difficult symptom was constant nausea. My doctor wanted me to take Reglan, but I refused due to the side effects. The nausea was so debilitating at times I just bent over while doing outside activities. Then I started taking 1 mg of Folic Acid daily and my nausea disappeared! My doctor told me the stomach has serotnin receptors and apparently Folic Acid affects serotonin.
