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.
The empty adult stomach is wrapped in smooth muscle tissue and is roughly the size of a clenched fist. Expanding to about the size of a water balloon, it can hold about 33 ounces of food and drink. Keep eating beyond that, and many people will feel uncomfortably stuffed.
