The Gastroparesis Cookbook: 102 Delicious, Nutritious Recipes for Gastroparesis Relief

It took 20+ years for me to be properly diagnosed with gastroparesis from Dysautonomia/POTS Syndrome. Untreated gastroparesis led to SIBO, h. Pylori, gastritis, atrophy and pernicious anemia. It is no joke! My G.I. doctor recommended FODMAP which has helped but I wanted more advice how to handle flares. This book validated what foods my body naturally gravitates toward, and why I digest certain foods better than others. It includes helpful information, including resources for support. The recipes are more inspiration for me than groundbreaking. It’s nice to have simple ideas when not feeling well. My only gripe is all the stevia listed in recipes. Stevia is banned in other countries, it’s not deemed safe. I can’t tolerate it at all. Organic sugar, maple syrup, honey are plenty of healthy options IMO (for those of us not diabetic. I understand the book seems to highlight diabetes gastroparesis, but it would be nice if it were a bit more inclusive. POTS/Dysautonomia wasn’t mentioned at all, and our community suffers greatly with it.) Overall, very thankful for this book and finally feeling like I understand this condition and the best foods to manage it.

I was recently diagnosed with Gastroparesis and for someone who loves to cook amazing-healthy and fresh food, this was a very disarming revelation to say the least. This book has given me hope, with great recipes as opposed to the clinical internet medical advice for eating/cooking for this disease. The cookbook is also full of good advice and helpful descriptions about the disease and how to adjust your lifestyle, while making it easy for you to follow a routine while you adjust. I highly recommend this book to all those adjusting to Gastroparesis and similar digestive and autoimmune diseases.

Totally worth it, I highly recommend this book if you have been diagnosed with gastroparesis especially if you are just learning how to manage food and meals. This book has taught me more than my doctors can about what I can eat and what I cant. This gives us great ideas on how to change up my meals so I can enjoy food again. I have tabs on my favorite recipes. This is a must have in your cookbook collection if you have gastroparesis.

I've been using this book for a month now to make all of my meals. I love most of the recipes, although some seem to have errors or mistakes in the listed quantities. For example, the 2 tbsp of gelatin called for in one recipe just leaves you with inedible rubber. Another recipe calls for 2 tbsp of tarragon which is an insane amount for the recipe.A lot of these meals make great leftovers, so i rarely have to cook. It's made managing my gp so much easier, and I'm eating much healthier than before! I used to subsist on things with little nutritional value like broth, rice, crackers, and the rare serving of squash. I'm eating a lot more fruits and vegetables now without causing symptoms.

I got this for my daughter who is dealing with Gastroparesis and she said that not only are the recipes good but she learned some new things about this health issue. She's very happy with it and she is a great cook, so she is picky!

This book has been very helpful. I felt so lost when I first found out I had gastroparesis, this book is not only a cookbook but it also gives you the basics of GP.The author gives some helpful tips for meal planning and even how you can still eat out by choosing your meal carefully.The recipes have all been delicious as well. You do need to have time to make these recipes. Most of them are around 20-40 minutes to make, but you need to plan ahead and have lots of fresh veggies on hand.

This was one of two gastroparesis cookbooks I bought for a friend. This contains meal plans, substitutions, and introductory guidance on dealing with the challenges with gastroparesis. It also has very tasty recipes, including a couple that I retained for my own (non-gastroparesis) family. This is a very helpful cookbook on several levels in dealing with dietary challenges.

This cookbook is a great introduction into cooking for anyone diagnosed with gastroparesis. Yummy recipes and good suggestions to help anyone struggling to find the right food balance. Highly recommend.

Excellent cookbook. I have recently been diagnosed. This book explained the problem and gave me the solution. The doctor never gave me so much information. Would recommend this book to any sufferers.

wish someone would write a recipe book using foods you actually use, recipes ar eok in this , most are soups or ice lollys

Not for me

The range of recipes was a little disappointing

Fantastic
