Fern: The gastroparesis diet is bland, soft, low-fiber, non-fat food eaten in six small meals a day. By it's nature, it will be a low-calorie diet. I just meant that i want to focus on the types of food without getting crazed about cals and calorie-counting. I'm quite a wreck today. I didn't sleep til 8:00am and i'm all dehydrated and headachey.
