Taking steps to control your diabetes and maintain your blood sugar levels can help you manage the symptoms of gastroparesis and may prevent it from worsening. A change in your diet is the most effective self-management option for gastroparesis. An effective gastroparesis diet will require you to:
- Avoid alcohol and carbonated beverages
- Eat a balanced diet with low-fat and low-fiber foods
- Eat multiple small meals during the day instead of three large meals
- Drink plenty of water
- Talk with your provider about the timing of your medications
