I got a gastric emptying study done and im confused on the results. at 30 minutes i was at 100%, at 1 hour i was at 100%, and at 2 hours i was at 67% but when it came to 4 hours i was at 5% does that indicate delayed stomach emptying or no?

: Yes, you have a mildly delayed stomach emptying. Normally, after one hour and two hours it should be less than 90% and 60% respectively. However, the number was normal at 4 hours which should be less than 10%.
