Gastroparesis

Understanding Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis is a chronic condition in which the stomach muscles do not function properly, slowing or preventing the normal movement of food into the small intestine. This can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, early fullness, bloating, abdominal pain, and unpredictable blood sugar levels.

Because its symptoms overlap with other digestive disorders, accurate diagnosis and specialized care are essential—and that is exactly what our center provides.

Comprehensive Diagnosis Using Advanced Technology

We offer comprehensive tests to evaluate gastric and esophageal function, including:

• Gastric emptying studies
• Esophageal manometry
• SmartPill wireless motility capsule
• Endoscopic evaluations and imaging
• pH monitoring and reflux assessment

Our care providers interpret these results, delivering a clear and accurate diagnosis.

Individualized Treatment Plans

Gastroparesis affects every patient differently. We tailor care plans that may include:

• Medication management
• Dietary optimization with specialized nutritionists
• Endoscopic therapies such as G-POEM (gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy)*
• Botox injections for select cases*
• Referral for surgical options when appropriate
• Integrative approaches such as stress management, gut-directed behavioral therapy, and lifestyle guidance

Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Care

Our team works together to ensure seamless, whole-person care. Whether you are newly diagnosed or seeking advanced treatment, we coordinate all aspects of your journey—testing, follow-up, nutrition counseling, long-term management and support.

• Functional dyspepsia
• Chronic nausea and vomiting syndromes
• Diabetic and postsurgical motility disorders
• Esophageal motility disorders (e.g., achalasia, esophageal spasm)
• Refractory gastroesophageal reflux
• Swallowing difficulties associated with motility issues
