From here I have to make changes with my whole dietary approach - so another learning curve.

How I include supplement taking into this new regime I have yet to explore - particularly the bigger supplements that can't be easily broken down.

I would appreciate if any others with Gastroparesis could suggest what they do regarding supplements and large medications!
I am sorry to hear this, Megan.

How severe is the gastroparesis you have now?
Do you vomit often? How delayed is the stomach emptying?
What is your diet going to be allowing?

If you are mild so far, you should be able to take most supplements. The EFAs might have to be spaced out, since they are a fat. If you cannot absolutely swallow tablets and capsules then liquids are available, usually for more money.
Most tabs and caps dissolve in the stomach within 20 minutes to an hour. They can also be mixed into smoothies and shakes.
