How can a person lose weight with major digestive issues that prevent me from eating healthy foods?

I ve been seeinga gastroenterologist for some time now as I have major digestive issues including- IBS, GERD, a Hiatal Hernia, Intestinal Ulcers, and Gastroparesis. Due to these issues, I vomit a lot even on meds. The meds help but don t cure my issues and I m not a candidate for surgery for my hiatal hernia because of my gastroparesis. The only thing that seems to help when I m sick is to eat bread or crackers and dring gingerale. Because of this, I eat a lot of carbs. I am a pescetarian meaning I only eat seafood for meat. But too many veggies or fruits or liquids cause reflux. This makes it very hard to consume enough water. As my symptoms get worse, I keep gaining weight. I m not huge it s just that I feel I will be if this keeps up! Any advice from dieticians would help.

    Solid fats are an example of empty calories -- high calorie meals, with little (or no) nutrients. Butter, shortening and beef fat. These are fats which stay solid at room temperature and are added to many foods to attract our tastebuds (as well as occurring naturally in certain foods), e.g. cakes, biscuits, cheese, sausage and pizza. The problem isn't that they are necessarily bad, but that most people just eat far too many of them, so serious moderation is key!
