It is recommended to have foods that do not irritate the stomach when presenting gastroparesis. This can be individual to the person, but the general recommendation is to consume items that are easily digestible and low in fibre. Given oatmeal and nuts are higher in fibre, it may not be beneficial to consume them together to reduce the fibre load on the stomach.

No, you can not eat oatmeal with nuts and fruit if you have gastroparesis. If you have gastroparesis it means that you have delayed gastric emptying. Therefore its best advised to follow a low fiber diet. Oat with nuts and fruits have lots of fiber.

Patients suffering from gastroparesis should avoid raw fruits, nuts and whole-grain cereal such as oatmeal because are difficult to chew and can cause blockage in your stomach when the fiber clumps together.
