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.
In brief: A few hours. Generally, about 50% of the food that you eat is out of the stomach into the small intestine within 90 minutes of when eaten. All food should be gone within a few hours. Gastric emptying could be measured with a nuclear medicine test. Diabetics typically have delayed gastric emptying, called gastroparesis.
