What is GI Motility?
Motility disorders affect the movement of food through the digestive tract, from swallowing difficulties to delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) and chronic constipation. Trials are studying treatments that restore normal movement and relieve symptoms.
Common signs and symptoms
- Nausea or vomiting after meals
- Feeling full very quickly
- Bloating and abdominal discomfort
- Chronic constipation
- Difficulty swallowing
- Unexplained weight change
