diabetic gastroparesis diet

I do not know if there is a published diet, but I can tell you what I do to minimize the effects of gastroparisis. I have been diabetic for over 40 years, and suffered the effects of this complication for about 25 of them. I have found that eliminating any food that is hard or slow to break down makes the problem much less severe for me. I no longer eat any red meat, focusing on fish and chicken.

A gastroparesis diet is a low-fat, low-fiber diet, as well as eating many small meals throughout the day. Some people find that a liquid or pureed food diet works better.

I have gastroparesis too, but I have non-diabetic gastroparesis so it is a little different for me. Is he on any medications to manage the gastroparesis (reglan, domperidone, erithromycin, etc.)? Is he eating a low-fiber, low-fat diet and eating multiple small meals every day? Is the problem that he can't get enough calories in because of nausea/vomitting or that he seems to be getting enough calories but he is still losing weight?

The diet you should follow for gastroparesis is low-fiber and low-fat. I have never heard of the soft-food diet for gastroparesis. You should also eat multiple small meals a day as opposed to a couple of large meals.

i have diabetic gastroparesis for 4 years now without good treatment, am extremely nauseous whether i eat or not, have lost a lot of weight and i have malnutrition due to not eating well. sometimes i go for a month without ever eating. what medications or lifestyle changes should i make that could really help because am at home cant have a normal life? please help me.

I require 14/16 Senokot every night in order to have a bowel movement in the morning. Could my diabetic condition be aggravating the problem, and how many adhesions would there need to be in order to be called appreciable, percent wise?

diabetic gastroparesis. now after all that rambling i'll try to quicker get to my question.the GI doc say's i'm too young for this.and + i'm not even diabetic.but that is his firm diagnosis.ALL my docs,him included are baffled as to why do i have this....is there anyone else here at all with similar stuff as mine?anyone...??? and btw in little over a year b/c of this i have lost just about 100 pounds now....

I have gastroparesis - paralyzed stomach - and it is difficult to digest fiber foods. I cannot eat fresh fruits and vegetables - especially salads - so how can I diet and lose weight?

The stomach problems are likely due to nerve damage from the diabetes. This is called diabetic gastroparesis. There are some medications that may help. In addition it would be critical to get his blood sugar well controlled.

I see an endocrinologist for Graves Disease with hyperthyroidism and he sees a lot of diabetic patients with gastroparesis. He says that Reglan has a lot of side effects and has held off on the script. My gastroenterologist says reglan is the only drug for gastroparesis and gave me a script for it. I have been reluctant to take them though. I have not felt well for a very long time also.

It's called diabetic diarrhea and it is caused by neuropathy. Gastroparesis is another symptom of diabetic neuropathy.

I have tested negative for celiac disease, but have tried the gluten free diet. I have tried a fiber free diet. I just went to a world reknown GI doctor yesterday, and there are so many things to consider. Since my father died so young of cancer, she wants to scope me and biopsy in the exact same area his cancer started. My mother had to sign to get the records from 1985, when he passed. There could be a genetic link to all of this, and I just dont know it yet.

Then they took out her gallbladder on the 10th of this month. Now they are calling it diabetic stomach (gastroparesis). She has been throwing up uncontrollably off and on for 2 years. She went in on the 10th and they removed her gallbladder. She went home from that and was back in the hospital on the 14th or 15th. They kept her until last night, sent her home and she is headed back to the hospital this morning, still throwing up.

You may want to check out the recommendation for gastroparesis at www.gicare.com under the diet section. You also need to take a long look at the Ensure. It may be a bit high in fat content and that is a contraindication for someone with gastroparesis, since fatty foods are emptied out of the stomach in a slower fashion than others.

The doctor in question is a Gastroenterologist and I started seeing him due to stomach problems. I have been told that I have Gastritis, Peptic Ulcer, Gastroparesis (I am also diabetic).....but never a true diagnosis as of yet. These problems have been occurring off and on for the past 4 years. I have had 2 endoscopies, a colonoscopy, MRI's, CAT scans and they have not found anything.

I'm Type 2 Diabetic and have other issues with my health, i have Gastroparesis, Barretts disease, IBS, Acid Reflux ( Gerd ) Stomach Hernia, and have had 9 Polyps taken from my Bowels ( non cancerous ). I know it's the diabetes thats killing the nerve endings in my stomach which has give me the gastroparesis but how do i control my sugars? i do my best but find it real hard.

gastroparesis is a life changing condition that is hard to cope with and vary little options on helping it, i would disscus options with your doctor and eat smaller portions of food by giving your stomach that extra time it needs to digest.

I too have gastroparesis and am not a diabetic. I also have no known cause for it, which is becoming more and more common for young people. Gastroparesis can come in several degrees of severity. I don't know how bad yours is, but mine is helped tremendously by a steady prescription of prilosec and an occassional pepto-bismo dose. I also eat at constant intervals. Every time my stomach starts to burn (which is on regular hourly intervals), I try to eat something small.

I have learned that there can be many different symptoms in relation to this complication. In regards to people with diabetes, gastroparesis is related to diabetic autonomic neuropathy. While my son has never had the problem you have with low blood pressure your comment sent me back to review my research. I came across a website from the Mayo Clinic that speaks to the issue of low blood pressure and autonomic neuropathy. The website is http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?id=HO00169.

I don't know how long I have had diabetes II, I started on pills maybe in 1996. There was no name like Gert or Gastroparesis. A Doctor shoved a pipe down my throat and looked at my ? What he said sounded like something like a "cut" in my esophagus that let acid come up into my esophagus. I learned over 2 years, anytime I ate Roast Beef or tomatoe Juice, that place would close up and keep water from going into my stomach, after a few minutes, it would open back up.

Observation has led me to believe there may be a link between high-protein diets and gastroparesis, seeing as many who end up with gastroparesis have practiced that diet (myself included). Correlation does not imply causation, however, so I can't say for certain. As for foods, I recommend you stay away from the fatty foods for the moment. Stick with low-fat, easily digestible proteins like egg whites for now.

You can access more information on the drug by going to www.zelnorm.com. i take it because i have diabetic gastroparesis, which is cause by damage to the autonomic nerves controlling the stomach and intestines. i have found it very helpful in restoring normal movement in the whole gastric system. i hope you also find it to be helpful. i haven't noticed any side effects though if you occasionally get diareah (sp?) it can make that worse.

She could have a condition called diabetic gastroparesis. This is where the nerves to the stomach are affected. Some medications may help along with liquid diet. A cgm (continuous glucose monitor) may be very useful if her insurance can cover it . Best wishes to your sister.

com This site has a forum. The president of the US based non-profit is a type I diabetic with gastroparesis. She has a lot of insight and suggestions regarding gastroparesis and its affect on diabetes.

Yes, permanent liquid diets are doable, and many people with gastroparesis carry them on for months. Try taking a slow walk around your house and see if that helps your stomach digest a little bit. You can also try sucking on a ginger candy or drinking some ginger tea, if you are feeling nauseous. I too have gastroparesis and am currently fed 100% through a J tube. Let me know if you have any questions!

Recently I was given a gastric emptying test and diagnosed with gastroparesis and given a low fiber diet. Can you have IBS and gastroparesis? What diet would help both?

With a diabetic and gastric problems you have to think about gastroparesis but could be a lot of different things. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/gastroparesis/ Three months of nausea after eating is easily 87 days too many. Hope you feel better very soon.
