Re: [fast5] Gastroparesis

Interesting. In another study they had volunteers eat anything they
wanted, but half had to have a bowl of soup (any soup they wanted)
first. The soup-eaters all lost weight.

Pureeing would have another effect too though? The fat would coat the
carbs, which makes them absorb along more of the intestine. Anything
that prolongs the digestion process along more of the intestine seems
to help with glucose/appetite control (even a plastic tube unfurled
along the upper intestine: the latest in weight control!).

I'm surprised the meal still wasn't digested after 3 hours though. I
reminds me of a dog I had once, which threw up in a car ride. The dog
hadn't eating for many hours, but it threw up a whole meal's worth of
undigested kibble. Which I'd guess says something about the
digestibility of kibble? I dunno how long it takes a dog to digest
most meals though.
