Book Description
If you find yourself feeling extremely full after eating only a small amount of food, or feeling nauseated and throwing up after eating, don't brush it off as indigestion or lack of appetite. These could be warning signs of a digestive condition called gastroparesis. Gastroparesis (abbreviated as GP) represents a clinical syndrome characterized by sluggish emptying of solid food (and more rarely, liquid nutrients) from the stomach, which causes persistent digestive symptoms especially nausea and primarily affects young to middle-aged women, but is also known to affect younger children and males. Diagnosis is made based upon a radiographic gastric emptying test. Diabetics and those acquiring gastroparesis for unknown (or, idiopathic) causes represent the two largest groups of gastroparetic patients; however, numerous etiologies (both rare and common) can lead to a gastroparesis syndrome.While difficult to treat, a special gastroparesis diet can help to control symptoms. When you have gastroparesis, the amount of fats and fiber that you eat can greatly affect how intense your symptoms are.The gastroparesis diet is always the first step to treating this condition after diagnosis. The easy-to-digest foods it promotes put less stress on your gastrointestinal system, reducing a range of uncomfortable symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, bloating, and abdominal pain.1Furthermore, the focus on nutrient density helps your body weather bouts of appetite loss that often arise during flare-ups. Without a consistent focus on good nutrition, these episodes could lead to malnutrition and weight loss.2Following a gastroparesis diet may also help you avoid medications and other treatments for the condition that may be associated with side effects.
