How Is Gastroparesis Severity Scale Classified?
Question: Describe the 4 stages of Gastroparesis. I have just been diagnosed with this condition.
Brief Answer:
There is no such classification of gastroparesis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Firstly i am sorry for your problem.
Have gone through your question.
Gastroparesis also called delayed gastric emptying, is a condition consisting of partial paralysis of the stomach, resulting in food remaining in the stomach for an abnormally long time.
Gastroparesis is not classified into stages as per the standard text.
Poorly controlled Diabetes is one of the most common cause of Gastroparesis.
Sad news is that there is no cure for gastroparesis but through strict dietry control measures it can be controlled.
Basic dietary advice are-
Eat smaller, more frequent meals,Don't eat heavy meals at once.
Avoid fatty foods,Take a natural and easily digestible diet.
Fibre soluble or insoluble should be avoided.
Avoid foods that cannot be chewed easilyl.
Foods that are generally encouraged include Breads, cereals, crackers, organic Vegetables boiled or cooked.
As per your question i am sorry but there is no classification of gastroparesis,However in case you have any other question please feel free to ask,I would be happy to provide you with professional advice.
Thanks
