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.
