Condition: Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach muscles don’t work properly, causing delayed emptying of food into the small intestine — even though there’s no physical blockage.

Common Symptoms:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting (especially of undigested food)
  • Feeling full quickly when eating
  • Bloating
  • Abdominal pain
  • Poor appetite or weight loss
