A member asked:
Can alzheimer's cause gastroparesis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be related: The dementing brain and the aging body are connected. When the 'thinking' function of the brain starts to seriously decline than bodily functions like swallowing, voiding, bowel elimination can also go down in a parallel fashion. As always, be on the lookout for other issues that could be causing the gastroparesis unrelated to the dementia.
