Signs Of Digestive Tract Paralysis (Gastroparesis)

Bacterial Overgrowth And Bezoars

When the food a gastroparesis eats is delayed entering the small intestine, it can result in bacterial overgrowth if the food begins to ferment. In addition, the delayed food can begin to harden and form what are called bezoars. Bezoars are a particularly unfortunate symptom of gastroparesis because they can trigger other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, as well as stomach obstructions. Bezoars can end up being quite dangerous if they prevent food from entering the small intestine, so it is absolutely crucial to treat and get rid of them as soon as they are detected. A visit to the doctor will, of course, be necessary to diagnose them and to come up with a safe and effective treatment plan.
