Hey GP Warriors 💚

I hope everyone has been doing well. I’ve been out of action for a while, taking several months to recover from two major GP surgeries—a Pyloroplasty and a hernia repair. Needless to say, we Gastroparesis warriors know all too well what dealing with these “tummy” issues can do to both the body and mind.

Now that I’m feeling much better and on the mend, I want to talk about vitamin deficiencies—what’s absolutely working for me and what’s not! This has become a must-do habit for people like us living with GP. Staying consistent has helped me tremendously, especially when combined with natural remedies.

In the next several posts, I’ll be sharing how having Gastroparesis affects our bodies—our nutritional deficits, lack of sleep, low energy, and vitamin and mineral loss—and what we can do to start getting it all back.

Stay tuned, warriors 💚

🦥 Thoughtful Thursday:

“From Bedridden to Better Days: Maya’s Gastroparesis Journey”

“There was a time I couldn’t eat more than a spoonful of soup without pain,” Maya recalls.

Diagnosed with gastroparesis three years ago, she went from ER visits and liquid diets to learning how to listen to her body one small step at a time.

“I used to cry over food. Now, I’m proud when I finish a full smoothie or walk for 10 minutes without nausea.”

Maya discovered her power through persistence, journaling symptoms, trying gentle yoga, and finding a care team that finally listened.

Her message to others:
“You may have slow digestion, but your strength is unstoppable.”

⚘️Save this if you needed hope today.

“Drop a 💚 if you’re working on your healing, one day at a time.”

Easy Banana & Oat Smoothie for Gastroparesis and Sensitive Stomachs

Ingredients:

1 small ripe banana (ripe bananas are easier to digest and less likely to cause bloating)

2 tablespoons of oats (use quick oats for easier digestion; soak in warm water for 10 minutes before blending for an extra gentle texture)

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk you tolerate well, like oat or rice milk)

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or lactose-free yogurt for extra probiotics and a creamy texture)

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional, helps with nausea and digestion)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a touch of flavor)

1/2 cup water or ice cubes (to adjust thickness)

---

Instructions:

1. If using oats, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to make them softer and easier to blend.

2. Add the banana, soaked oats, almond milk, yogurt, ginger (if using), and vanilla extract to a blender.

3. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little more water or almond milk.

4. Taste and adjust sweetness (if needed, you can add a tiny amount of honey or stevia, but avoid overly sweetened ingredients for gastroparesis).

5. Pour into a glass and enjoy slowly.

---

Why This Smoothie Works for Gastroparesis:

Bananas: Gentle on the stomach and provide easy-to-digest carbohydrates.

Oats: A source of soluble fiber, which can help ease digestion and provide energy.

Almond Milk: Light and dairy-free, making it easier to tolerate.

Greek Yogurt: Probiotics can support gut health while adding creaminess and protein.

Ginger: Known for its anti-nausea properties, it’s a great addition for digestive support.

🌿Living with Gastroparesis isn't easy, but remember: every small step counts. This week focus on one goal to feel better. Whether it's staying hydrated, eating well, or adding gental exercise movements to your daily routine.

DYK?..Staying active, even with light movements, can help improve digestion! Try a 10 min walk after meals. (Youtube has many great 10 min indoor walking videos that work great during the winter months or at any time. They're very safe, quick and easy to do.)
