What happens when you take foods that gastroparesis says you’ll never eat again — and dare to remake them anyway?
Spoonful of Spite is a community-powered cooking series where we take notoriously non-GP-friendly favorites (pizza, burgers, comfort classics, and more) and attempt to rebuild them into versions that are gentler on digestion — without stripping away the joy of food. Each episode starts with a challenge submitted by the gastroparesis community. From there, we break down what makes the original dish hard to tolerate, then experiment with texture, ingredients, preparation methods, and portion strategies to create something more GP-friendly. We know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to gastroparesis. What works for one person might not work for another — and that’s okay. This series isn’t about perfection. It’s about possibility. If a single swap, method, or idea helps someone rethink a recipe they thought was off-limits forever, then the spite is worth it. Because gastroparesis may change the rules… but it doesn’t get the final say on what’s on our plate.
