Gastric emptying scan
I had a gastric emptying study done a week ago.
I've been having nausea, stomach ache, feeling of a distended stomach for months now. Domperidone is not really helpful.
The report says:
"In both visual assessment and quantitative evaluation of the series SPECT, a slow, though not significantly delayed, gastric emptying is observed in the early phase as well as over time."
"Gastric emptying to half of the initial value is achieved shortly before the cutoff threshold of 90 minutes, which is considered pathological."
My T1/2 was 78.89
"A half-emptying time of 18–73 minutes after a porridge test meal is considered normal"
Emptying times:
30 min : 88.66
60min: 60.67
90min: 43.44
120min: 33.52
150: 29.26
240min: 2.2
I get that it's considered normal. Still I'm having daily SYMPTOMS.
The t1/2 is slightly abnormal.
Could that explain my nausea?
Thanks
