I just wanted to say hi, I am just reading the Clever guts book after a dear friend thought it might help me. I am 47 yr old mum, wife and business owner. In March this year after many stomach issues over the past few years I have been diagnosed with Gastroparesis, which I have been informed is incurable. It has been a tough year, struggling with what to eat. I am one of the lucky ones who can still eat, however what I can eat are easily digested carbs! so now I have weight gain to deal with too!

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired and I am ready to do whatever it takes to get my body well again. I am wondering if this is anyone else on this forum with Gastroparesis that is following the clever guts programme???

Kindest regards

Hi Nicky

Gastroparesis is complex and I’d be extremely reluctant to give advice; I assume you are under a specialist? What have they said? I really don’t know if there’s a link between gastroparesis and dysbiosis, but (unless you are intolerant of dairy) I would have thought there’s no problem trying some Kefir or Kombucha which, being liquid pre/pro-biotics won’t further delay gastric emptying. The only other suggestion is to keep a really detailed food diary and relate the food to the symptoms if you can
