Gastroparesis Directory
In gastroparesis, the stomach cannot fully empty itself of food. This could be due to diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, medications, and more. You may feel nauseated, bloated, and you may experience heartburn or an abnormally decreased appetite. There are also other symptoms. Because leftover food in the stomach can cause complications, you should seek treatments to manage the condition. These may include diet changes and medications that aid digestion.
