I have gastroparesis but no diarrhea?

My symtoms are as follows

Your symptoms could be related to many things. Gastroparesis is when there is a delay in emptying the stomach. It is associated with nausea/vomiting after eating and early satiety. Diarrhea is not associated with gastroparesis. It is usually caused by abnormalities in the nerves (neuropathy) that supply the stomach and the most common cause is diabetic neuropathy. So if you have diabetes then it could be gastroparesis. If you do not have diabetes then it is highly unlikely it is gastroparesis. I think the more likely cause for your symptoms is stomach irritation, called gastritis. Other possibilities include stomach ulcers, gallbladder disease, and pancreatic disease. You should see your doctor to have this evaluated if you have not already. Gastroparesis is diagnosed with a gastric emptying study in which they have you drink some contrast and they monitor how quickly it empties your stomach by taking X-rays. Unfortunately there are not many good treatments for gastroparesis. The most commonly used medication is Metoclopramide (Reglan), but there are concerns over it’s long term use. Talk to your doctor and good luck.
