Slow emptying: This probably was solid gastric emptying evaluation. At 2 hours there is variable emptying but would expect about 60% or more.You emptied 14% at 2 hours.Slow gastric emptying or gastroparesis can be associated with diabetes, neuropathy or vagas nerve damage.Consult gastroenterologist for change in diet and or medications for help in relief of situatin. Nausea, early satiety, vomiting are symptoms.
