A member asked:
My grandson (2 1/2 years old) has diagnosed gastroparesis- very slow emptying of stomach. can he grow out of it? any treatment/medication for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : There is medication for this but there can be side effects to each one. Your son or daughter will talk to the gastroenterologist i'm sure. With children that age there is always a chance of outgrowing a problem, unless there was a congenital permanent nerve damage.
