Based on your responses, you struggle with nausea and vomiting but have not yet received a gastric emptying test (GET).
What is a gastric emptying test?
A GET measures the rate at which food moves through the stomach. This test is the most widely used to diagnose gastroparesis and one of the ways to determine if you are a candidate for Enterra® Therapy.
