A member asked:

Can gallbladder hypokinesis cause delayed gastric emptying? will having gallbladder removed possibly fix the delayed gastric emptying? thank you

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: Gall bladder dyskinesis and delayed gastric emptying are separate entities. Having the gall bladder removed may improve your symptoms but will not not fix delayed gastric emptying.
