Gastroparesis is a chronic condition characterized by delayed gastric emptying, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating and abdominal pain. Effective management of gastroparesis requires a tailored dietary approach to alleviate symptoms and ensure adequate nutrition. This article provides comprehensive dietary and nutritional strategies for managing gastroparesis, including meal composition, food choices and specific dietary modifications. Emphasis is placed on small, frequent meals, low-fat and low-fiber diets and the importance of maintaining hydration. Nutritional supplements and lifestyle modifications are also discussed as adjunctive measures to optimize health outcomes for individuals with gastroparesis.
