4. Bread & Grains
Breads and grains are also recommended if you are on a gastroparesis diet. Breads and grains are good for you, but you want to stick with white bread, rice, pasta, and cereal. But with everything that you do, especially cereal, make sure that you’re reading the labels and choosing the low fiber option. There are a few cereals out there that contain a great deal of fiber, and you want to avoid those.
Luckily, they usually have the word fiber in their name somewhere, so they are easy to identify. Still, if you do not want to exacerbate your gastroparesis symptoms, then you definitely need to check food labels before you buy them. Also, if you are eating cereal, a good tip is to let your cereal soak in the milk for a few minutes before you eat it. That way the cereal is not going down your esophagus and solid form making it difficult to digest.
