Symptoms of gastroparesis
The symptoms of gastroparesis are:
- Nausea and vomiting especially of undigested food
- Unintentional Weight loss
- Bloating [4]
- Loss of appetite
- Acid reflux [5]
- Stomach spasms
- Blood glucose levels that are difficult to stabilize
- Early fullness after eating small food
- Heartburn
- Gastroesophageal reflux
- Stomach spasms
Gastroparesis symptoms could be mild or serious, depending on the amount of damage done on the vagus nerve, a long cranial nerve that moves from the brainstem to the abdominal organs, including those of the digestive tract.
Symptoms can increase at any time, but they are more observable after eating high-fiber or high-fat foods because they are slow to digest.
