Gastroparesis
When the emptying of the stomach becomes slow and persistent digestive discomfort appears, it is best to seek medical care to study what is happening. Gastroparesis is exactly that: a disorder in which the stomach takes too long to empty its contents into the intestine, without any obstruction to explain it.
Common symptoms:
- a feeling of getting full quickly when eating
- nausea and, at times, vomiting
- bloating and discomfort in the upper abdomen
Common causes: it can be associated with diabetes, certain surgeries, or other conditions that affect the nerves of the digestive tract; in some cases no clear cause is identified.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one to study it, with support from the internist or, in children, the pediatrician. If digestive symptoms persist, evaluating your situation with a professional is the safest path.
