What is gastroparesis? Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder that slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Normally, the muscles of the stomach, which are controlled by the vagus nerve, contract to break up food and move it through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Factors that can make it difficult for your stomach to empty properly include: 1  Diabetes. 2  Abdominal or esophageal surgery. 3  Infection, usually a virus. 4  Certain medications that slow the rate of stomach emptying, such as narcotic pain medications.
