GASTROPARESIS: DIET INFORMATION

Dietary recommendations for gastroparesis are designed to minimize symptoms while keeping patients hydrated and nourished.

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.
