i have diabetes 2, and gastroparesis as well. gastroparesis is bad news. i once again started to eat large salads, and had to stop. small salads aren't as bad. i usually use boston lettuce or spring greens with some green onions and pumpkin seeds. peanut butter is extremely difficult to digest. for fiber i find that cooked veggies are not too bad. i also eat a serving of steel cut oats with raw honey every day. i try to keep my diet simple and very similar from day to day. it's not boring. for breakfast a slice of toast spread with butter, 1/2 avocado and a boiled egg. lunch usually 5 - 6 oz. meat, usually a goulash which i really like. etc. i have to stay away from too many nuts.
