Gastroparesis is a disorder that presents with delayed gastric emptying, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. This condition can be found in people with complications from diabetes-neuropathy of the vagus nerve and gastric surgery-damage to the vagus nerve. With idiopathic gastroparesis (IG), the cause is poorly understood with theories suggesting viral infections affecting gut motility, pyloric valve spasm as well as damage to the specialized cells within the wall of the stomach. Unfortunately the treatment options are minimal for people suffering from gastroparesis regardless of what type.
