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.
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.
