Understanding Gastroparesis - Chicago Health
Hunting for a diagnosis — and treatment — when your stomach won’t empty. Chris Drew from Chicago experienced severe stomach pain and vomiting, leading to a diagnosis of gastroparesis, a condition that causes delays in the stomach's ability to empty itself. The test, which involves eating scrambled eggs cooked with a radiopharmaceutical and lying under a camera for four hours, revealed the cause of the pain and nausea. About 5 million people in the United States have gastropareis, which is four times as common in women as it is in men. Gastroparesism can cause symptoms like bloating, abdominal discomfort, and vomiting as a result. The cause remains elusive, with diabetes being suspected, but there are also plenty of people with gastroparenis who don't have diabetes.
