Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis which means partial paralysis of the stomach is a disease in which your stomach cannot empty itself of food in a normal way. If you have this condition, damaged nerves and muscles don't function with their normal strength and coordination - slowing the movement of contents through your digestive system.

This is a common condition in people who've had diabetes for a long time, but it may also occur in other situations. Gastroparesis can be misdiagnosed and is sometimes mistaken for an ulcer, heartburn or an allergic reaction, In people without diabetes, the condition may relate to acid reflux.
