Gastroparesis?: Most common cause of nausea and vomiting is viral gastroenteritis. However slow gastric emptying (gastroparesis) can result from previous viral infection. Also seen in diabetics. This would cause delayed vomiting of sandwich. When cause of gastroparesis is unknown.considered idiopathic. .Obstructions to stomach emptying more uncommon.Should see doctor if problem continues for exam and therapy.
