The bottom part of the stomach is called the pyloric area. At the bottom of the stomach is another opening. This leads to the small intestine. One of the most important parts of the stomach (and generally of the digestive system) is the bacterial fauna that populates it.
A: Gastroparesis is the term used for sluggish emptying of food from the stomach into the small intestine. Normally, your stomach moves about half of an average meal into the small intestine within two hours after you eat, and about 90 percent within four hours. If you have gastroparesis, food stays in the stomach much longer. Nausea and upper abdominal pain are common symptoms. It may become difficult to keep a full meal down. People with serious cases may eat so little they become dangerously thin and malnourished.
