The clinical manifestations of gastric emptying disorder are abdominal distension, overflow vomiting, intractable hiccups, etc.

1. Abdominal distension

When there is gastric emptying disorder, a large amount of food will accumulate and ferment in the stomach and produce gas, resulting in abdominal distension symptoms, and the upper abdomen is more obvious.

2. Overflow vomiting

If there is gastric emptying disorder, it will affect the digestion and absorption of food. If the accumulated food exceeds the tolerance of the gastrointestinal tract, it will appear overflow vomiting, and the vomit is mostly gastric contents, which may or may not contain bile.

3. Intractable hiccups

Because gastric emptying disorder makes the solid and liquid emptying speed of the stomach extremely slow, resulting in more gas, there will be intractable hiccup symptoms, usually inserted into the gastric tube decompression can alleviate symptoms.
