A member asked:
Can gastroparaesis be diagnosed just from a upper endo. gi dr. said there was food present. would gastric emptying study be better to get diagnosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: An upper endoscopy can diagnose gastroparesis. If there is food in the stomach after fasting for the procedure, then there is gastroparesis.
