Gastroparesis causes developed by WikiDoc.org
Transient gastroparesis may arise in acute illness of any kind,
- Certain cancer treatments or other drugs which affect digestive action,
- Anorexia
- Bulimia
- Other abnormal eating patterns.
- Medications(anticholinergics and narcotics)that slow contractions in the intestine
Chronic gastroparesis is frequently due to autonomic neuropathy.
- Type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes: The vagus nerve becomes damaged by years of high blood glucose, resulting in gastroparesis. Fibromyalgia
- Parkinson's disease
- Mitochondrial disorder.
- Abdominal surgery.[3]
- Amyloidosis
- Scleroderma
- Abdominal migraine
- Hypothyroidism
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease
Idiopathic gastroparesis (gastroparesis with no known cause) accounts for a third of all chronic cases; it is thought that many of these cases are due to an autoimmune response triggered by an acute viral infection
- Stomach flu
- Mononucleosis, and others have been anecdotally linked to the onset of the condition, but no systematic study has proven a link.
