1 Page 1 of 6 Clinical Nutrition Services Diet Tips for Gastroparesis Outpatient nutrition visit What is gastroparesis? Gastroparesis means your stomach empties more slowly than normal. It can cause nausea, vomiting, heartburn, bloating, belching, feeling full quickly, smaller appetite, weight loss or feeling tired. Your symptoms may vary from day to day. Diet basics Large meals, solid foods and foods high in fiber or fat stay in the stomach even longer in people with gastroparesis. Changing your diet will help you feel better. Meal size How to stay healthy Abdominal pain, nausea and dehydration are the top reasons patients with gastroparesis come to the hospital. Our goal is to help you avoid this. Eat 5 to 8 small meals per day. Make sure to get enough fluid, even when your symptoms are bad. Eat less fat (less than 50 grams/day) Eat less fiber (less than 15 grams/day) Walk or stretch for 10 minutes after eating. Try relaxation techniques or exercise to decrease stress. Smaller meals empty from the stomach faster, so they cause fewer symptoms. If you make your meals smaller, you should eat more often to get enough nutrients. We suggest 5 to 8 small meals per day. Liquid, pureed or solid foods Liquids and purees (the next step up), empty from the stomach more quickly than solid foods. You can try these if your symptoms are bad, or if you find it is not helping to eat small, frequent meals. You can put most foods in a blender. Strained baby foods are an option when you don t want to use a blender. You can make solids, purees and baby foods thinner by adding broth, milk, water, or juice. If most of your diet is liquid, have some drinks that are rich in nutrients, like nutrition supplements (Boost, Ensure, Carnation Instant Breakfast), kefir, milk or unsweetened fruit or vegetable juice. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, please let us know. We provide many free services including sign language interpreters, oral interpreters, TTYs, telephone amplifiers, note takers and written materials.

2 Page 2 of 6 Fiber Try eating fewer of the foods that are high in fiber, such as raw fruits or vegetables (especially those with seeds and skins) and whole grains. Replace those foods with fruit and vegetable juices and purees to make sure you get enough nutrients. You can also try peeled fruits and well-cooked vegetables, if they do not cause problems for you. Fat Cut back on high fat foods, such as certain meats, fried foods, desserts and bakery items. Higher fat beverages, like whole milk and nutritional supplements, often do not cause problems. If you are eating less fat and have trouble getting enough calories, try having higher fat beverages. Physical activity Walk for at least 10 minutes after eating or do some light stretching. This can help your stomach empty. Regular physical activity can help reduce stress. This will make your gastroparesis and your overall health better. Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity, 5 days per week. FODMAPs If you are still not feeling well after trying the diet and exercise changes above, ask your dietitian or doctor about a low FODMAP diet. FODMAPs are a type of carbohydrate found in some foods. They are not easily digested or absorbed. They can cause many of the same symptoms as gastroparesis. Checklist for symptom improvement Discuss your diagnosis of gastroparesis with your care team Eat small meals many times a day Chew foods well Remain sitting up for at least 1 hour after eating Ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you are taking (prescription and over-the-counter). Some can slow digestion. Drink enough fluids Start a multivitamin Eat less fat (less than 50 grams/day) Eat less fiber (less than 15 grams/day) Have fewer of the foods that are hard to digest (may be different for each person) Have liquids that are rich in nutrients (Boost, Ensure, Carnation Instant Breakfast) Keep a food and symptom journal Walk 20 to 30 minutes each day Reduce and manage stress Try relaxation exercises, biofeedback, guided imagery and mindfulness Use heat for pain Quit smoking Focus on nutrient rich foods Reduce FODMAPS Ask your doctor about medical treatment options
