Also with gastroparesis, fiber doesn't usually get absorbed properly (as other nutrients too), so maybe that's why you don't see any benefit of it, and still have the constipation. Just a thought or two, to help you get on track to feeling better. Lots of good info out there for life-style and especially diet modifications to help in this area of GI autonomic problems...without having to see a specialist.

You are correct that neruogenic bladder is difficult to treat, but other autonomic conditions (affecting BP, heart rate, GI) have many treatment options.
Thanks for all that, one reason I do the sprout salads is that they are much easier to digest then the mature plant.
