About Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis is a chronic medical condition characterized by delayed stomach emptying without any physical blockage. A gastroenterologist manages this disorder, which occurs when the stomach's muscular contractions (motility) are impaired, preventing proper movement of food into the small intestine. Diagnosis typically involves tests like gastric emptying scans, upper endoscopy, or smart pill capsules. Treatment is multifaceted and may include dietary modifications, medications to stimulate stomach contractions or control nausea, and in severe cases, advanced interventions like gastric electrical stimulation (GES) or feeding tube placement. The goal is to alleviate debilitating symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, early satiety, and abdominal pain, thereby improving nutrition and quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
