Gastroparesis is a condition in which the stomach muscles do not work properly. As a result, food empties from the stomach very slowly, or not at all. Children with this disorder may feel full all the time, be very nauseous, have pain or vomit undigested food left in the stomach.
Treatment of gastroparesis depends on the severity of the personâs symptoms. In most cases, treatment does not cure gastroparesis, which is usually a chronic, or long-lasting, condition. Gastroparesis is also a relapsing conditionâthe symptoms can come and go for periods of time.
