Soups or broth/noodle bowls that are your favorite?
I've unintentionally lost 32lbs since last November that's about 17% of my weight. It's been speeding up not slowing down because lately I've had more and more days where I can only keep liquid down.
I need to keep more soups on rotation to help and basically they will all end up pureed if I want to keep them down. Barley is a no go my stomach just sends it back up but some veggies as long as they are super soft are ok but also I have to avoid vegetables that cause gas and I can only have 3-5 grams of fiber in a day. This is why gastroparesis is so complicated.
Currently what I can keep down sometimes is white bread, crackers, pasta, potatoes (no skins), white rice, very cooked carrots, tuna and chicken that's basically cooked to mush... Ground beef isn't an option along with any kind of bean/legume, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, celery, corn, green peas, pea pods, water chestnuts, lettuce, kale and bell peppers. Highly acidic produce like tomatoes and citrus I also can't do. No monosodium glutamate either I have an intolerance.
I'm going to make eggdrop soup today without tofu... But if you have favorite soups that don't include whole grains or any of the produce I listed I would love ideas!
