What is gastroparesis? Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder that slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Normally, the muscles of the stomach, which are controlled by the vagus nerve, contract to break up food and move it through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
The lower part of the esophagus connects to the stomach at an area called the gastroesophageal (GE) junction. Here, a sphincter muscle opens to allow food to enter the stomach. This muscle also closes when a person is not eating to keep stomach acid and juices from backing up into the esophagus.n some people, acid can escape from the stomach into the lower part of the esophagus. This is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or just reflux. In many people, reflux causes symptoms such as heartburn or chest pain. In some, though, reflux doesnât cause any symptoms.
