Re: UC and Gastroparesis! Lucky me???? - HelpForIBS.com Message Boards

Hi there,
I'm in the same boat. I have GP and possible colitis. My colonoscopies have shown pockets of colitis, but the biopsies have been negative. Strange.
The diet is difficult, but possible. I've gotten very stable recently, but it took quite awhile. Here's a sample of my daily diet:
Breakfast:
English muffin with smart balance light, tea with 2 teaspoons benefiber (that's how we can safely take fiber without it filling us up!)
Snack:
Graham cracker with little bit of peanut butter
Lunch:
flour tortilla, fresh turkey, mustard (wrap)
applesauce
pretzels
Snack:
canned peaches
Dinner:
baked chicken
homemade mashed potatoes (with rice milk)
cooked green beans
Bedtime Snack:
cup of dry cereal & cup of tea (tablespoon of benefiber)

Hope that helps. I also take 2 colace and 1 align at bedtime. This has helped keep me regular, but boy was it was struggle getting to this point.
Another big struggle was stress--that would make me SO much worse. I needed to take some time to adjust to this new lifestyle. Yes, it's a bummer to not be able to eat what everyone else can, but feeling well and living a normal life now is SO worth it.
Hang in there.
