Gastroparesis Delayed stomach emptying is called gastroparesis. Your stomach has muscles and nerves that work together to push food down into your small intestine. The small intestine breaks down food so that your body has nutrients and energy. This process is called digestion. Gastroparesis is a condition where the muscles and nerve signals between the stomach and the intestines does not work well. The movement of food from the stomach to the intestines slows down or stops. What causes gastroparesis? The cause of this disease is not always known. Some of the most common causes include: Diabetes where high blood sugar damages the nerve around the stomach. This is the most common cause of gastroparesis. Surgery to the stomach, intestines or abdominal area. Eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia. Medicines, such as narcotics, that slow the digestive tract. Other health conditions, such as autoimmune disease, cancer and infection, or treatments for health problems. 1

Gastroparesia El vaciamiento tardío del estómago se conoce como gastroparesia. Su estómago tiene músculos y nervios que trabajan en conjunto para enviar la comida a su intestino delgado. El intestino delgado descompone los alimentos para que el cuerpo tenga nutrientes y energía. Este proceso se conoce como digestión. La gastroparesia es una afección en la que los músculos y las señales nerviosas entre el estómago y los intestinos no funcionan bien. El movimiento de comida del estómago a los intestinos se ralentiza o se detiene. Duodeno Esófago Intestino delgado Estómago Qué causa la gastroparesia? La causa de esta enfermedad no siempre es conocida. Algunas de las causas más comunes son: Diabetes, donde el alto contenido de glucosa en sangre daña los nervios alrededor del estómago.
