6.0 Oil Pressure Guage drops to zero at idle.

Hey guys! I have a late 04' 6.0 L Powerstroke. Last night, all of a sudden, my in dash oil pressure gauge began dropping to nothing when the truck is at idle. As soon as you touch the throttle, it goes back to showing normal. Also, since this has happened, the truck has been a lot harder to start. My local mechanic seems to think it may be the low pressure oil pump. But a new LPOP was put in just a little over a year and about 50,000 miles ago. Could this be my problem, and if so, what might be causing it to fail. Thanks for any help ya'll can give me.
