r/Gastroparesis is a subreddit with 14.0K members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is size-large.
Gastroparesis is a condition that affects the ability of muscular contractions to effectively propel food through your digestive tract, resulting in delayed gastric emptying. Gastroparesis is typically diagnosed via a gastric emptying study (GES) and is thought to be a condition belonging on a spectrum shared with functional dyspepsia (FD) rather than being a totally separate disease.
