What Should I Do If My Gastric Emptying Time Is Too Long?

Gastric emptying taking too long is generally caused by factors such as dietary habits, lack of exercise, and Helicobacter pylori infection. It can be alleviated through enhanced dietary management, increased exercise, and medication. Here are some details:

1. Dietary Factors: Eating too much greasy food, such as fried fish, fried shrimp, fatty meat, and intestines, can increase the burden on the stomach, reduce its ability to digest and absorb food, and prolong gastric emptying time. Maintaining a light diet and avoiding excessive greasy food can improve symptoms.

2. Lack of Exercise: Not exercising after meals and sitting for a long time can slow down gastrointestinal motility and prolong gastric emptying time. Activities such as running and brisk walking can promote gastrointestinal motility and improve symptoms such as abdominal bloating, appetite loss, and nausea.

3. Medication: If the stomach is infected with Helicobacter pylori, it can affect the normal flora of the stomach, disrupt gastrointestinal function, and impair the stomach's ability to digest and absorb food. Drugs such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules, Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules, and Lansoprazole Enteric-coated Capsules can be used for treatment under a doctor's guidance.

Apart from the above common causes, it may also be caused by gastric motility disorders. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Domperidone Tablets and Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets can be used to improve symptoms.
