Many people can manage gastroparesis with dietary changes. Maintaining adequate nutrition is the most important goal in the treatment of gastroparesis. If diabetes is causing your gastroparesis, your doctor can work with you to help you control it. Treating gastroparesis begins with identifying and treating the underlying condition. Ultrasound can help diagnose whether problems with your gallbladder or your kidneys could be causing your symptoms.
This test uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within your body. This test can also be used to diagnose other conditions, such as peptic ulcer disease or pyloric stenosis, which can have symptoms similar to those of gastroparesis. It uses a tiny camera on the end of a long, flexible tube. This procedure is used to visually examine your upper digestive system - your esophagus, stomach and beginning of the small intestine (duodenum). The test can show how fast your stomach empties after consuming food by measuring the amount of the substance in your breath. Samples of your breath are collected over a few hours and the amount of the substance in your breath is measured. Eventually, the substance can be detected in your breath. For breath tests, you consume a solid or liquid food that contains a substance that your body absorbs. Ask your doctor if any of your medications might slow your digestion. You'll need to stop taking any medications that could slow gastric emptying.
