So many patients with digestive motility diseases and disorders are affected by nutritional consequences as a result of the inability to eat normally. There is so little information available for patients who are perplexed as to what they may be able to tolerate in their diet while trying to maintain adequate nutrition.

To compound the difficulty, when patients are directed to registered dietitians or nutritionists, there are few qualified in these professions to be able to provide them with reliable assistance.

AGMD recognizes the need for more information and resources in nutrition for patients with these digestive problems. Dorothy Petito is a Registered Dietitian and patient with gastroparesis. She serves as our Nutrition Consultant and works with AGMD in providing helpful and essential information.

We are working diligently to compile resources, recipes, tips, educational materials and articles focusing on nutrition as it relates to digestive motility diseases and disorders.
