What is gastrparesis how to treat?

See details: Gastroparesis is a condition in which your stomach muscles do not function properly. It therefore interferes with digestion. Diet and certain meds may help.

Several options: First, we treat the underlying cause. For example, if it is diabetes related, you treat the diabetes first. That are certain medications that are pro-motility, like reglan (metoclopramide). Most people tolerate that quite decently. Last resort would be something like a gastric pacemaker.
