Gastroparesis: Causes, Tests and Treatment Options

By Mary Ann Ellenburg and Mary Ann Ellenburg MA

Gastroparesis is a condition in which the stomach empties its content much later than is normal. One of the very common symptoms of gastroparesis is the feeling of being full even after you have taken just a few bites of food. In fact, sometimes after eating a very small amount to food, you may start to have a feeling of nausea and vomiting. You may also experience excessive belching. Heartburn as well as stomach acid rising to the esophagus is also commonly experienced when you are suffering from gastroparesis. You may feel a pain in the upper abdominal region. This isn't very sharp but may be enough to make you restless. As soon as you start suffering from gastroparesis symptoms, you should immediately see a doctor. If you delay, your condition may become severe which can be very dangerous in some cases. This informative book outlines the symptoms, causes and treatment options for this often life-threatening condition.
