GASTROPARESIS: DIET INFORMATION

Melissa Adams VanHouten

Dietary recommendations for gastroparesis are designed to minimize symptoms while keeping patients hydrated and nourished. The basic GP diet calls for small, frequent, low-fat, low-fiber, high-protein foods and liquids which are easier to digest. Many diet plans call for a 3-step process, beginning with a liquid-only diet and then progressing to soft-foods (low-residue, low-fat), and eventually, a maintenance diet (which adds just a bit more fat as well as some well-cooked, easy to chew foods).
