Delayed Gastric Emptying
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Delayed gastric emptying, also known as gastroparesis, is a condition in which the stomach takes longer than normal to empty its contents into the intestine, without any obstruction to explain it.
Common symptoms: a feeling of early fullness when eating, nausea, abdominal bloating, and discomfort after meals.
Common causes: disorders that affect the functioning of the nerves and muscles of the stomach, among other health situations.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist, and for children the pediatric gastroenterologist, is the one who studies this type of digestive discomfort, with support from the endoscopist or the general surgeon when needed. If symptoms persist after eating, the most sensible thing is to discuss it with one of these professionals.
