Welcome to the forum @Clare Briars

Sorry that it’s taken a while for anyone to reply.

@AJLang has been living with gastroparesis for many years and may have some advice or experiences to offer.

Are you on medication for your gastroparesis? Have you been offered any advice about food?

Hi thank you. Have researched a few basics about food but not on any medication.

I gather that it is quite difficult to manage with medication (or rather that there are a few meds which can help a little, but they are often ones mostly used for other things, not designed specifically for gastroparesis).

Small particle diets, smaller regular meals, and being careful around foods (eg fats) which are known to slow the digestion are worth thinking about too, I think.
