Gastroparesis

Definition

A condition of delayed gastric emptying — food stays in the stomach longer than normal — causing nausea, vomiting, early satiety, and abdominal pain. GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying as part of their mechanism; this is generally beneficial for weight loss but can produce symptomatic gastroparesis in a small fraction of patients, particularly with rapid dose escalation.
