Confused about what to eat to best manage your gastroparesis symptoms?  You're not alone.  Very few GPers are provided with the dietary support and nutritional information that they need and deserve.

That's why I created Eating for Gastroparesis: Guidelines, Tips & Recipes. The 80-page eBook features:

• The six guidelines of a gastroparesis-friendly diet

• A detailed list of gastroparesis-friendly foods

• Nutrition tips and product suggestions

• Answers to the most frequently asked questions about eating for gastroparesis

• 50 safe and simple recipes - including soups, smoothies, breakfasts, desserts, and family-friendly dishes

My hope is that this book will help alleviate the stress and uncertainly that often surrounds the gastroparesis diet. It's available now at www.EatingForGastroparesis.com.

Autumn is my favorite time of year, in large part because I love the seasonal flavors.  I posted a few fall-inspired recipes on my blog earlier this month, but this one is brand new and just for you!  These baked donuts (yes, donuts!) are delicious and completely GP-friendly with less than 2 grams of fat each.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened plain applesauce
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1/3 cup apple cider
• 1/3 maple syrup
• 1 tbs melted butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Spray a doughnut pan with cooking spray.
3. Combine the first six ingredients in a small bowl.
4. Mix the rest of the ingredients (egg through butter) in a large bowl.
5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir just until combined.
6. Fill each donut cavity about 1/2 full with batter. 
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the donuts spring back when touched and are golden brown on the bottom.
8. Remove from pan and set on a baking rack to cool. 

There are several drug-free ways to alleviate nausea, one of the main symptoms associated with gastroparesis.  How well each one works varies from person-to-person, so experiment to find which ones work best for you.

• Ginger is a well known, time-tested remedy for digestive discomfort. It's also been shown to speed gastric emptying.  There are many ginger products available, including:


• Tea - ginger tea can be made from fresh ginger or from purchased tea bags.  I like Traditional Medicinals Organic Ginger tea.  Try drinking a cup after meals to aid digestion and soothe your stomach.  
  


• Soda - make sure it's made with real ginger and avoid high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners, when possible.  Zevia Ginger Ale, which is made with the herb stevia, is my favorite.
  


• Candy - the most portable option, ginger candies are a good thing to keep in your purse or pocket while you're out and about.  The Ginger People offer a variety of choices.

• QueaseEASE is an aromatherapy inhaler containing a blend of essential oils formulated to quell nausea.  It's available online via Amazon and other retailers.
  


• SeaBands are elastic bands that stimulate an acupressure point in the wrists, which can reduce nausea.  They're available in most drug stores.

• Acupuncture treatments can significantly relieve both nausea and vomiting, as described in this Mayo Clinic video.
