Correct gastroparesi: The best solution is to identify and correct the gastroparesis either by solving the underlying condition causing it or by increasing gastric motility through some means such as gastric stimulation or with medication. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) and other bulk forming agents can cause abdominal pain and cramping when gastric or intestinal motility is decreased.

Gastroparesis: Eat a high fiber diet consisting of vegetables and fruits as well as figs, prunes, dates, raisins, and nuts. Reduce milk andmilk products but drink 6-8 glasses of water.Eat cereal rich in fiber. Try to consume 25-30 grams of fiber per day.
