GASTROPARESIS: DIET INFORMATION

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).

How do you motivate yourself to face the challenges around Winter, living with Diabetes?

Many of us struggle to stay motivated in the Winter months. It is hard when the days are short and dark, with miserable weather. It is often mentally and physically difficult to even get started on things you want to do. Our health-shared communities also shared how they face and overcome those challenges. Having the knowledge is a goldmine of motivation to face your challenges. We all experience the lows both physically and emotionally, and the dark, cold winter weather doesn’t help. Our community members all have different ways to motivate themselves. Join the conversation at Health-shared community and interact with different members in the community. Having confidence in your to selfcare comes from understanding the challenge you face.

What qualities help you overcome the challenges you face (which ones are concerning to you at this time)?

Winter is full of ups, many festivals both religious and non-religious are during these months and we overindulge. We get invited to parties and our lives are often in flux. This affects us all differently and sets up challenges that we need to adjust to, which adds to the anxieties and concerns when you have a medical condition like diabetes, hear what some of these worries are for our health-shared community. Whatever your worries, there is someone who has been there before and hearing their story can give you some peace of mind. Overindulgence is part of the human frailty and something we all have battles with, because it brings with it feelings of guilt, annoyance, and sometimes depression. Alcohol is sometimes one of those excesses at this time of year. It is important to understand how much it effects your diabetes and how to manage and treat yourself. The health-shared diabetes community shares with you their stories and you can join the conversation.
