What is gastroparesis? Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder that slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Normally, the muscles of the stomach, which are controlled by the vagus nerve, contract to break up food and move it through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Your stomach is a muscular, J-shaped pouch that sits in the upper portion of your abdomen on the left side. Like a balloon, your stomach expands as it fills with food and liquid. When empty, your stomach capacity is roughly a quarter cup. In the empty state, your stomach resides primarily behind your lower left ribs.
