Causes Of Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis is the dysfunction of stomach muscles, and due to this condition, the food you eat will stay in your abdomen for a longer time than necessary rather than entering your small intestine. If the patient is eating a meal, he or she may feel full sooner than expected even after just consuming a small portion. Furthermore, undigested food that stays in the abdomen for a long time can make the person feel nauseous along with the urge to vomit. Gastroparesis can also cause a lack of appetite, which may lead to malnutrition, and patients who aren't eating can expect to lose weight without intention. Additional symptoms include abdominal discomfort, bloating, and heartburn. Sometimes the condition can cause irregular blood sugar levels.
