Diabetic Gastroparesis: How Does Delayed Gastric Emptying Affect
Gastroparesis refers to a delay in gastric emptying time. It is a disorder that allows food to remain in the alimentary canal for extended periods. Often, this condition occurs when the nerves responsible for stimulating stomach contractions are faulty. When the stomach contracts, further digestion of food into smaller pieces occurs before transferring them into the small intestine for absorption.
