What are some of the causes for gastroparesis other than diabetes?
Hi I'm 26 and today I was diagnosed with a stomach motility disorder called gastroparesis. I'm not exactly sure how severe it is telling from the gastric emptying test. It showed I had 24% of my food left over in my stomach during the scans over the course of 4 hours, whereas people with proper digestion would have had only 10% left. Now I'm wondering how my vagus nerve became damaged in the first place. I read that diabetes is the most common cause of the condition, but I'm wondering what other diseases I should have ruled out. I have also had biliary colic like pain in my rib and back and seemed as if I had something wrong with my gallbladder. I have one aunt with diabetes, and a family history of hypothyroidism and gallbladder disease.
