    Hi, I'm Crystal. I spent a decade as a Certified Health Coach specializing in gastroparesis management. I wrote books like Eating for Gastroparesis and Living (Well!) with Gastroparesis and helped people build comprehensive management plans and gastroparesis-friendly diet plans.
    While this work improves the lives of thousands of people with gastroparesis around the world, it was an outside-in approach that only went so far. People were still suffering from having gastroparesis. I was still suffering from having gastroparesis! What changed everything for me, and has changed everything for clients like Samantha, was a very different approach... one that comes from the inside out.
    I really believe that freedom from the suffering around gastroparesis is possible for -- and available to -- everyone... regardless of the severity of symptoms or how long you've had the condition. I hope you'll come along as we explore what the inside-out approach to living WELL with gastroparesis is and where freedom really comes from.

    Crystal I can’t thank you enough for all this fantastic information, you have completely changed the way I think about G P. and because I have changed my thinking my whole experience has changed for the better.
    It makes so much sense and the minute I grasped the concept I felt a huge sense of relief.
    I would like to make some smoothies but I’m not sure where to begin. You are so right about taking more time to chew food properly it definitelydoes help. Thank you again for the wonderful job you are doing, it is much appreciated and has made a huge difference. Carolxx

      Oh my goodness, Carol, this made my day! I'm so glad you heard something impactful in what I've shared. When our thinking shifts, our experience changes. It's really so simple but, like you said, it can bring about SO much relief.
      It's funny you bring up smoothies because I used to have a class and eBook all about making smoothies and juices and I was just thinking recently that I should put out some updated info about that. So thanks for the idea... and stay tuned ;)
      So glad you're here, Carol, and so glad you've seen things that have helped you. Sending lots of love and good wishes! ❤

    Dietitian here:
    This advice is amazing. I 100% recommend following ALL of these 10 things. I have a few more tips and tricks for people suffering with ideopathic gastroparesis I’ve found to work with several people:
    (1) add high-calorie sauces to foods like ketchup and barbecue sauce. These can add a great amount of low fat calories
    (2) 1/4th dose of a liquid multivitamin. Liquid because it digests better and faster and 1/4th because of the decreased motility means greater absorption
    (3) track your food and make sure you’re eating enough each day. Just because you don’t feel hungry at all does not mean you are meeting your nutrition needs. To find your needs, use the Mifflin St. Jeor calculator with an activity factor of 1.3 for sedentary lifestyles, 1.4 for mildly active lifestyles, and 1.5 for moderately active lifestyles, and 1.6 for very active lifestyles
    (4) make a weekly menu and meal prep

    Just out of the emergency, for the second time, for vomiting for 13 hours on end with no sleep 7pm-8pm 😢. My electrolytes were dangerously out of balance on both encounters, causing my body to seize and be completely unusable. Thought I was going to die this second time, because the first time I went to the emergencies, I lost consciousness before they took me in for fluids/medication, and I remember seeing a tunnel of light and all pain and sensation of suffering had left my body. I prayed to my angels to please save me, I wasn't ready to go.
    These last few years this condition has seemingly gotten worse, I notice it, especially when I'm stressed or when I'm not eating right.
    Learning all of this is intense. I don't wish 13 hours of puking and seizing on anybody! Its absolutely horrific!!! Thank you for assisting us all in making better choices so this condition doesn't effect us as negatively. ❤

    I have been suffering vomiting nausea & bloating last 5 years on and off. Since May 1st 2021 I became very sick & throwing up like crazy . It takes so long to get appointments for all the test I needed for my dr to figure out what is my diagnosis will be. He is thinking I might have Gastroparesis.
    In 2 weeks I will have Gastric emptying study. I’m so stress and hopeless. I am on nausea Med . I don’t even wana eat anything cause I feel super bloated. And even with laxative Med I can’t empty my bowl completely. I’m hoping and praying I can get better over time . Love & so much respect for you❤️

Ive been following the diet my Dr gave me. It sucks. Food has become my enemy. I appreciate your more relaxed attitude. I'm living on chicken breast, tuna, potatoes (no skin) and white rice. I desperately miss burgers and salads. What can I eat? I don't have flair ups. Mine is due to nerve damage and is constant.

    My problem is I have mild gastroparesis on top of chronic gastritis. Meds for gastritis makes gastroparesis symptoms worse so my previous GI said no meds. Most current GI wanted me on meds knowing it would make it worse so then just wanted me on depression meds to hide the symptoms. I said no thanks. I need to try and find a way of eating to heal and manage rather than covering symptoms.

    I was diagnosed 2yrs ago and the GI Dr wanted to see me back but my PCP didn't tell me anything about it and said to stop eating. I have to follow a diabetic diet to start with and now I feel a little lost. I'm now scheduled for a full scope, upper and lower GI, but had to reschedule because my flair is so horrible I couldn't keep from crying when I called them. Now I know what I "can and can't" eat which is helping a lot and I'm slowly keeping fluids and a little bit of food down. The Dr flat out requested I be extra careful until the scope because he'd normally have me in the hospital right now if Delta variant wasn't running wild right now. Once the flair ends I will just have to be careful until I can do a gastric emptying study. My first upper GI they found a lot of 3-4 day old pizza. I'd had 3 slices over 2 days and everything seemed to be there. My PCP made sure I didn't get the gastric emptying study the first time and I didn't know if I could survive this last flair.

After being on Reglan now for 3 weeks I'm doing way better and have gained 5 lbs. However, I was concerned that if I start eating more fruits, veggies, fiber, fats (which I thought were now "bad" foods) I might cause myself to relapse or have GP advance. I feel way better knowing that if/when I make a bad choice I'm not doing damage. I know for sure that anxiety makes gut issues way worse and now after listening to your video I feel (like you said) that I have space to think, listen to my body instead of following a depressing, restrictive diet.

    So glad I found you sweety. Everything in our lives happen for a reason. Trauma sucks. It all makes sense. Lovely Zoloft and Gabapentin is probably the culprit. The madness. And my son is wondering why I refuse to go to the doctor to get a real diagnosis. I just know this is it. I've always felt like there was a blockage when I ate or drank anything. Like a muscle tightens up and then when I read about it my mouth dropped. 😱 So now I need to start digesting this information. 🤣🤣

    • @lwwgp
      @lwwgp  Год назад +8

      Hi! I'm so glad you're finding helpful information here. Trauma often seems to play a significant role in the development of functional digestive disorders, so you're certainly not alone there!
      That said, I actually would encourage you to go ahead with a formal diagnosis for a couple of reasons. First, certain medications, including some classes of antidepressants can delay gastric emptying. But there is often a switch that can be made if necessary. If medication is playing a role, discontinuing that may significantly alleviate symptoms. Second, there are other causes of delayed gastric emptying that can be addressed and only a doc will be able to evaluate for those. And lastly, I've just heard from too many over the years who were sure they had GP and then eventually were diagnosed with something else (that's often quite treatable!). A gastric emptying study is pretty easy to complete and might shed some light on what exactly is going on. Just my two cents!

Since making up my mind yesterday, I have been able to eat two successful small meals with my family and I didn't experience any distress afterward. Liquid nutrition still works best for me right now but at least I know I can eat a little bit of REAL food in between. 🙂

    I’ve had on and off constipation for years but after getting Covid my digestion completely shut down. I’m never nauseous but I burp constantly with food and even water. I’m headed to my gastric emptying test in just a min. Most likely they will start me on the prescription Motegrity. I’ve heard the first week the symptoms aren’t so fun but it passes and most people seem to have success with increased motility.

      Hi, Crystal! Recipes for low(ish) fiber banana free smoothies are a bit tough to come by, aren't they? I do have this one on my website, which you might like: livingwithgastroparesis.com/banana-free-green-smoothie/ This one is quite filling, so you might need to start with half and/or thin it out some water.
      I'm also working on updating and republishing my juices & smoothie book and I'll definitely be including as many as I can in there!

    I was diagnosed with GP. I am overweight. In 2003 I had a laparoscopic Nissen and ever since I cannot drink carbonated drinks and I can only drink with a straw. When I was a kid I have always had a very hard time being able to eat many different types of foods like many fruits and vegetables. My entire life if I was to eat a salad I would get sick the minute I put it in my mouth let alone if I was to get any of it down? For example, if I have a burger it could only have the bun meat and cheese and no spread of any kind. No mayo etc. If I was to have a tuna fish sandwich it could only be made with butter plane. I have been trying to lose weight but have been having a hard time doing so? I was just put on a medication called Metformin because I was told I was producing too much insulin and that was causing me to gain weight? I hate the food pyramid and even the my plate because they don't address issues like GP and other dietary issues? Because I am legally blind and use a power chair with limited mobility it's hard to read labels and count calories to be healthy and know what will help me lose weight and live healthier? I wish someone could make a video about this issue?

    Ive had GP since I was a child, though it was DX until I was in my 20s. All of this resonates.
    Ive had issues with digestion and stomach pain since adolescence (everyone always said it was an eating disorder b/c if go through spurts of not eating b/c i wasnt hungry/had no appetite but i guess at 15yo if you dont eat its automatically b/c you concerned about body immage etc... no, no, could care less about looking like a twig thanks just believe in "eat when hungry, dont eat when not hungry"). I got really sick in high school - they never figured it out. I eventuall got better from that and then started having problems. In my 20s they did a GES and found the half life of the tracer meal was 450 min.. ive had flares of abdominal pain and other autoimmune type symptoms. Ive tried just about every elimination diet at the recommendation of GI docs.
    We still havent gotten to the bottom of things for me yet, but im going to stick to these guidelines + play around with it til i find what works.

      It might be something on the GP diet that you're allergic to. I found out I was allergic to dairy when I was eating very little outside of Ensure shakes with no improvement. Gastritis was pretty much the only symptom of the allergy. It took a few weeks after I cut out dairy, but the gastritis healed, and I was able to eat enough to maintain a healthy weight.

      @lwwgp  3 года назад +3

      Hi, Deondre! I don't do dietary coaching anymore as I've found there are other more helpful things I can offer. I have two suggestions for those looking to create a diet plan, though. The first would be to get a resource like my book, Eating for Gastroparesis (available on Amazon), and see what you can put into place on your own. Again, heeding all of the guidance in this video to hold it all a bit loosely in terms of "rules."
      The second suggestion would be to work with a nutritionist or dietitian with knowledge of gastroparesis. If you can't find one, others have had success sharing a copy of Eating for Gastroparesis with their dietitian and working off of that to put together a plan.
      Hope that's helpful!
