Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis - Slow Digestion, Nausea, Fullness (Diabetic & Non-Diabetic) - Clinical Trials

What is Gastroparesis?

Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder that slows or stops the movement of food from your stomach to your small intestine, even though there is no blockage in the stomach or intestines.

The symptoms of gastroparesis may include:

• Feeling full shortly after starting a meal

• Feeling full long after eating a meal

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Diabetes is the most common known cause of gastroparesis.

Doctors diagnose gastroparesis based on your medical history, a physical exam, symptoms, and medical tests, such as tests to measure stomach emptying. Your doctor may use medical tests to look for gastroparesis complications.

How doctors treat gastroparesis depends on the cause, how bad your symptoms and complications are, and how well you respond to different treatments. If diabetes is causing your gastroparesis, your doctor will help you control your blood glucose levels.
