What is Gastroparesis?
Gastroparesis is a digestive
motility disorder where the vagus nerve is damaged and the muscles of the stomach and intestines do nor work thus
become paralyzed. This condition further delays food emptying from the stomach and intestines which results in
serious complications and further gastrointestinal problems. 1 out of every 2 diabetics will develop Gastroparesis. This
is 50 percent of all patients.
-National Institutes of Health estimates there are over 10 million Gastroparesis patients in the United
States. Many citizens with the classic symptoms of Gastroparesis still exist but with poor education and not
being properly diagnosed they are left untreated, suffering in silence.
*Idiopathic Gastroparesis has no
known cause however many diagnostic tests can be run but the end result is still no known origin on why the stomach, intestines
and other GI organs do not function properly.
| -The Key to Success for Gastroparesis is Awareness |
