Gastroparesis Food Tips and Stages

Eliminate Junk Food & Alcohol

It is necessary to eat primarily safe and nutritious foods as the stomach empties slowly in patients with gastroparesis. Such food types help minimize the risk of being packed with foods that do not provide enough nutrition, such as pizza, pasta, chips, soft drinks and candy.

Another food to avoid is alcohol. After intake of alcohol, the gastric emptying rate is delayed. Therefore it is important that patients with gastroparesis limit or totally eliminate [11] the intake of alcohol if possible.
