This is a tough one and honestly, she should make an appointment with a dietician who specializes in these problems.
people who have gastroparesis are not able to digest much fiber, especially fiber in fibrous vegetables and fruits, like citrus. on the other hand, the best thing you can do for diverticulosis is to eat high fiber foods and or supplement with fiber and a lot of water. the water or liquid part would be helpful to both problems.
nowardays, doctors are saying that seeds and nuts are no longer restricted to those with diverticulosis unless of course these things bother the person, but then here we go again. they’re not so good for gastroparesis. it’s a catch 22. because you don’t want to sacrifice a healthy, nutritious diet altogether.
also need to avoid full fatted dairy products and use the low fat or fat free versions.
there’s a ton of information out there. just google gastroparesis/diabetic sample menus and do the same for the diverticulosis. good luck.
Include green leafy veg (see report attached)
If you meet any diabetic doctor specialist, they will surely give such diet schedules.
Regulated and timely food while at the same maintaining highest standard of quality. Minimum quantity depending on age.
In general for a diabetic patient, it is good to avoid any fat items like oil, ghee, butter, etc. Secondly reduce consumption of sugar and salt considerably. Certain fruits are not to be taken by diabetic.
Increase intake of fresh green vegetables. Request her to take plenty of water. Walking is best to maintain good health.
