Wouldn't gastroperisis diagnosis need too be caused by something, i took gastric emptying egg test, and got diagnosed, what should i have checked out?

Treat Gastroparesis: Gastroparesis means slow-emptying stomach. Causes may be mechanical (obstruction, or the stomach outlet narrowed from healing of past inflammation, treated by endoscopic dilation), post-inflammatory (due to swelling of the stomach lining from ulcers, treated with acid blockers), or neurologic (as with diabetes, treated with rx that stimulates motility--domperidone, erythromycin, stomach pacemaker).
