A member asked:
I had a gastric emptying test and got the results. it said after 1 hour, i had 59% food left and after 2 hrs, i had 8% left. that isnt normal, right?? i have severe bloating for 3 years and can hardly eat due to being full asap. im frustrated?

You need to have these results interpreted by the GI doctor who ordered the test. But, having only 8% left in the stomach after 2 hours is normal, assuming the food ingested for the test was solid food. But, you need to see the doctor who knows you best to interpret the results, knowing your symptoms and clinical diagnoses. Good luck!
