Hi Brigitte,
Thanks for visiting! Please keep in mind that these are responses from the GP survey and each person’s experience is different. For this particular person, it seems that the combination of a no-fiber, no-sugar diet and vegetable juicing relieved or eliminated their symptoms. Unfortunately with gastroparesis it’s impossible to find one solution that works for everyone. I have heard that some people do wonderfully with fresh juices and some people cannot tolerate them. So it all comes back to safe(!) experimentation and figuring out what works best for you body. From personal experience, I recommend keeping a journal of what you’re consuming and how you’re feeling, especially if you plan to make any changes to your current diet. It makes it easier to figure out what works for you and what doesn’t.
Tramadol is a narcotic-like pain reliever. It does help some people who have issues with pain.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Crystal
