Gastroparesis is a serious disease that requires a special diet.

If you feel that a liquid diet is right for you, you can carefully add new foods.
For example, these can be soft foods and those that are easily digested by the body - vegetable juice, low-fat dairy products (yogurt, cheese, and custard), fruit juices, cereals, low-fat broth, chicken, turkey, canned fruits without peel.
Choose foods that are easy to chew. They should also be low in fat and high in water.
