Gastroparesis Test

Delayed gastric emptying, commonly known as gastroparesis, is when the stomach takes longer than usual to empty its contents. It often disrupts the upper digestive system's function, leading to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and fullness after eating small amounts.

The condition impairs the normal movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine, leading to various issues, such as malnutrition, unpredictable blood sugar levels, and the development of bezoars.

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, while gastroparesis is a condition that affects the movement and emptying of the stomach. While gastritis can cause nausea and vomiting, it does not directly affect gastric emptying like gastroparesis.
