Q What habits should I develop to reduce gastroparesis symptoms?
A Eating small amounts often, reducing oily foods and tough fiber, not lying down right after eating, and chewing slowly and thoroughly are key. If you have diabetes, blood sugar management must go together too.
Detailed Answer
Eating habits that put less burden on the stomach are most important. The basics are not eating a lot at once but dividing into several small portions a day, reducing oily and tough foods, and cooking softly. Chewing slowly and thoroughly to lighten the stomach's workload and not lying down right after eating also help.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Lifestyle improvement and restoring gastric function have a greater effect when done together. While settling your stomach with Korean medicine and adopting keepable habits one by one, you can maintain a comfortable, less-fluctuating state for longer.
