Abnormal: Your stomach contents should empty within a few hours after eating unless abnormalities of motility(gastroparesis) or mechanical obstruction are preventing normal emptying. If a meal ingested three days earlier is still in the stomach one of these mechanisms have to be responsible. See your physician , especially if your abdomen is distended, or if severe nausea or abdominal cramping is present
