Gastroparesis means weakness of the muscles of the stomach. Gastroparesis results in poor grinding of food in the stomach into small particles and slow emptying of food from the stomach into the small intestine.The stomach is a hollow organ composed primarily of muscle. Solid food that has been swallowed is stored in the stomach while it is ground into tiny pieces by the constant churning generated by rhythmic contractions of the stomach's muscles. Smaller particles are digested better in the small intestine than larger particles, and only food that has been ground into small particles is emptied from the stomach then digested. Liquid food does not require grinding. Certified Health Coach and Gastroparesis Expert Crystal Saltrelli has helped thousands of people around the world learn to live well with gastroparesis.In this updated edition of Eating for Gastroparesis: Guidelines, Tips & Recipes, Crystal sets forth practical, easy-to-understand dietary modifications to help alleviate your symptoms...without compromising your nutrition and overall health.You'll learn Crystal's ten guidelines of Eating for Gastroparesis, as well as how to choose gastroparesis-friendly food at home, in restaurants, and while socializing.Through extensive food lists, answers to all of the most frequently asked questions, dozens of helpful tips, and over 75 nutrient-rich recipes, you'll discover that a gastroparesis diagnosis does not have to mean the end of healthy, enjoyable eating."Crystal's books are a gold mine to anyone living with gastroparesis. It is the first resource I direct my patients to, whether newly diagnosed or not. I personally use many of Crystal's recommendations and resources to manage my own gastroparesis and to help others navigate this new way of eating and living.
