Gastroparesis is a condition in which the stomach muscles do not work properly. As a result, food empties from the stomach very slowly, or not at all. Children with this disorder may feel full all the time, be very nauseous, have pain or vomit undigested food left in the stomach.
Some of the complications of gastroparesis include: 1  Food that stays in the stomach too long can ferment, which can lead to the growth of bacteria. 2  Food in the stomach can harden into a solid collection, called a bezoar. 3  Bezoars can cause obstructions in the stomach that keep food from passing into the small intestine.
