Hi Tinkerman
Sorry for the delayed reply. I’m still struggling with gastroparesis but am slowly reducing carbs and trying to increase protein. My weight is steady at the moment. I certainly need to gain a lot more though. I’m still seeing spikes after some meals but not always and I pretty much eat the same thing everyday so it’s very unpredictable.I’m on multiple daily injections and use dexcom so try and bolus before I eat and depending on how my stomach feels I sometimes dose half my meal insulin before I eat and then dose the rest as my dexcom starts to arrow up when I’m confident the food is starting to digest. I have Dr Bernstein’s book so I will have another read on his recommendations again.
Endo doc asked me if I have gastroparesis, I said I did not think so. i do not know why he asked that? I can eat a bunch. I think I digest food ok.
I do have ibs
Have a look at the FODMAPS diet for IBS. It’s what it was originally made for.

I’ve been dealing with gastroparesis for a few years now and I haven’t had a flare-up in about a year and a half. Here’s the meal plan I followed during flares. I only take one medication for acid and mainly avoid raw fruit and veggies and very fiber-y foods like yuca, and try to eat small meals to make it easier for my body to digest.
