If you suffer from chronic pain, chances are digestive issues are part of your struggle. Whether it’s indigestion, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or heartburn, these early symptoms can escalate into gastroparesis—a condition where the stomach muscles become weak or paralyzed, preventing food from emptying properly into the small intestine.
This leads to food and liquid lingering in the stomach for too long, causing nausea, vomiting, severe pain, and an inability to tolerate solid food. Gastroparesis is not just a digestive disorder—it’s a sign of a deeper nervous system malfunction. ‘Paresis’ literally means partial paralysis, caused by nerve damage or disease.
If eating makes you feel worse instead of better, something deeper is going on.
Doctors may have told you that gastroparesis is a stomach issue, but the truth is, it starts with your nervous system.
Your Vagus nerve is responsible for telling your stomach muscles to contract and move food through your digestive system. If the Vagus nerve is weak, inflamed, or misfiring, your digestion slows down—or even shuts off completely.
This can happen due to:
Gastroparesis isn’t a digestive problem—it’s a nervous system failure affecting your gut.
You don’t need another prescription or restrictive diet—you need to reactivate your body’s natural ability to digest food properly.
At our clinic, we don’t just treat symptoms—we fix the system that’s broken.
If you feel like your body is working against you, know that healing is possible.
