Adding salt to your diet. Drinking lots of water. I, myself have done this and it has much benefited.

There's no specific diet but some people find that a low carb diet helps, others find a low-FODMAPS diet might help if they also have IBS as a comorbidity, and if you have gastroparesis you're going to want to avoid oily, heavy foods.
Ignore anyone who tells you the Levine protocol (high salt diet) is anything but utter bs

Differs for different people depending on what their needs are and what their goals are as with any dietry needs for any illness.
Generally - as healthy a diet as possible - added salt is generally recommended BUT wait for your doctors to tell you that ... but it does help with cramps, and helps you feel 'thirsty' and encourages you to drink more ..... (which in turn - makes you pee every 5 seconds! lol).... but dont let that stop you having that little packet of chips, some junk food etc - just eat what you normally would eat just limit what you have particularly IF you notice that symptoms are much worse with some foods.
