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.
The common symptoms of gastroparesis are bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, feeling full after just a few bites of a meal, weight loss, and heartburn. Nausea and vomiting generally occur many hours after the last meal, usually when your stomach is fullest from both food and the secretions stimulated by the food.
