Signs Of Digestive Tract Paralysis (Gastroparesis)
August 27, 2018
Gastroparesis is a condition characterized by stomach paralysis. When this disorder is present, stomach motility will either be absent or abnormal. This means the contractions that push food through the stomach and into the small intestine are not as effective as they need to be. This can cause issues such as malnutrition due to the digestive system not being able to properly absorb nutrients from the food the stomach is not sufficiently pulverizing. It is common for patients to experience discomfort and the severity varies greatly. It is essential to know what symptoms might occur and what patients may be able to do to help calm them.
