Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome diet. Is there a diet which improves the quality of life of people with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome?

Diet can help with nauseand digestion. I eat a gluten free diet. Not spicey or food thats too rich. Soft plain food helps me most

The most important thing is to get calories in whatever you can, whether that be through liquids, baby food, soft foods, or small meals throughout the day. Many patients end up needing a feeding tube to get their nutrition. Of also like to point out that not all patients are underweight and many can maintain their weight, although most of us still suffer with malnutrition regardless of weight.

Yogurt with live cultures. Full protein drinks. I've cream! Boneless chicken.

In my opinion, soft foods with small portions throughout the day rather than large meals are much better and easier to digest. Also nausea makes it very difficult to eat so foraging as some would call it may be the best way to avoid vomiting.

Your diet can have a major effect on your quality of life with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome. Foods to avoid are red meats and vegetables. Some examples of good foods are pancakes, oatmeal, cereal, soups. Another good idea is to eat 6 smaller meals rather than 3 regular sized meals.

A high protein diet, as you want to gain weight not loose

Most with smas have been severely malnourished and have a feeding tube. They get their nutrition from formula or blended foods

Food is a very tricky thing to deal with when you have SMAS. The problem I have is whatever I eat usually takes two or more days to fully digest and go down my dudenoum. Foods that i've experienced that are way too difficult to digest for me is, red meat, chicken, rice, cookies (harder ones), and broccoli. I found that going on a Vegetarian or Pescitarian diet helps. I try to avoid dairy as much as I can because that also takes a long time for me to digest. When I'm backed up and i'm In a lot of pain i stick to a liquid diet so i can let whatever is stuck in my duodenum digest. On those days I'll try to get as much calories as I can through Ensures (i recommend the Ensure Plus!) because they help me keep some food down and don't cause me pain. I also try to eat jello, yogurt (dairy-free), AVOCADOS are the best they have such good nutrients and are really easy to digest for me and I love to add it to some soft eggs with dairy free cheese. Mangos, aspergers, and mushrooms., spinach, Are all yummy yummy foods you can get creative with and are easy to digest for me personally.

Softer or liquid food. Sometimes medical feeding may be necessary.
