Explanation

Gastroparesis is a medical condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. This happens because the nerves that control the stomach muscles are damaged or don't work properly, making it hard for the stomach to move food into the small intestine. This can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, feeling full quickly when eating, and abdominal bloating.
