Delayed Stomach Emptying

This condition is known medically as gastroparesis. It can be caused by a number of medical conditions, diabetes being a common one. Certain medications also can delay the emptying of the stomach. Often, there is no cause found. When the stomach does not empty properly, bloating, belching and reflux of acid can occur. Fat or oil in any form, animal or vegetable, delays normal stomach emptying. With gastroparesis, the delayed emptying can be thereby aggravated, so a reduction of the fats in the diet may be needed.
