Gastroparesis

Overview

Gastroparesis is a disorder in which the muscles in the stomach and the intestine do not work normally, causing food to move slowly or to stop moving through the digestive tract. This can prevent your stomach from properly emptying after you eat.

One of the most common causes of gastroparesis is diabetes, though it may also be caused by stomach surgery, viral infections, certain medications, or metabolic disorders.

Symptoms of gastroparesis, which range in severity, include heartburn, pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, bloating, gastroesophageal reflux, or lack of appetite.

Applicable Procedures

EGD

How serious is gastroparesis?

Gastroparesis can interfere with your quality of life and lead to dehydration and malnutrition from vomiting. It can also cause unpredictable changes in blood sugar and worsen diabetes. If undigested food stays in your stomach, it may form into a bezoar, which is a hardened mass of food. If you have a bezoar, you may experience nausea and vomiting. The situation can also be life-threatening if the bezoar stops food from making its way to your small intestine.

How is gastroparesis treated?

Oftentimes, gastroparesis can be managed by changes to the diet. A doctor may refer you to a nutritionist to help you make dietary changes or to get diabetes under better control if this is the cause of the condition. A doctor may also prescribe medications to stimulate the stomach muscles or to alleviate nausea and vomiting. In some cases, you may need a feeding tube, often temporarily, until symptoms are under control.

Can a doctor cure gastroparesis?

There is no cure for gastroparesis, but you can alleviate the symptoms by changing your eating habits and taking medications.

Common Symptoms

“I have type 2 diabetes, and I experienced rapid changes in my blood sugar levels, along with a lack of appetite and weight loss.”
“I started to feel full after eating just a few bites of food, and I was vomiting undigested food a few hours after eating.”
“I had unexplained abdominal pain, as well as nausea and vomiting.”

Walking in8 the door, I was greeted with a smile and immediately gave my cards and paperwork to the receptionist. My appointment for a procedure was on time and every single person was smiling and acted like they love to be there... even at 6:30 in the morning! Each nurse and doctor clearly explained what they were doing and why. Then, my favorite Dr. Wille joked and laughed with me and I was relaxed and ready for the procedure. After, he explained what was done and results. What a great team of professionals!

Rick M.

I only waited in the waiting room about five minutes they took me right in And the young lady explained everything thoroughly while she was giving me the IV and next thing I know I was in recovery waiting to go home

Marilyn R.

I have known Dr. Nandi for 24 years. He treated my 16 year old son when he was hospitalized. We have been seeing him ever since. That son is now a part owner of three primary/urgent care locations. He refers all his gastro patients to Dr. Nandi.During my visit last Friday, the staff was all friendly, caring, and very attentive. I will continue to be a patient there as long as Dr. Nandi practices medicine.

Crystal M.

Staff and doctor was very nice and made sure I was comfortable and at the end of my procedure, they spent the time with me to go over the resulys. Highly recommend the office on 22 and Romeo Plank.

Cindy

Dr. Wille is a very caring, compassionate doctor! He looks you in the eye instead of typing on his computer while you talk, that is so important to me, it shows me that he is LISTENING to me and cares what I have to say. To get an appointment to see him in the office takes awhile, that's how popular he must be. I can see why. That is my only negative that I have encountered. He was timely once it was my appointment time to see him. I appreciated that since so many doctor's have you sit for awhile in the exam room waiting for the doctor to walk in. I would recommend Dr. Wille to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate gastroenterologist. Thank you Dr. Wille!

Kim H.

They’re like a fine oil machine someone to take care of all your needs make it comfortable and that’s over and done and you’re great

FAQs

What happens during my first visit?

If you are a new patient, you can expect to have a complete physical exam. You will also be asked detailed questions about your current problems and your past medical history, your current medications, allergies, your family history and other pertinent medical information. If you are taking medications, please bring a completed medical history form with you to your appointment. Once the physician has reviewed your medical information and completed the physical examination, a plan of care will be developed. You may need to be seen again in the office, be referred back to your family physician for follow-up care, or require additional testing. If additional tests are needed, we will assist you in scheduling these tests.

What if I need to schedule an endoscopic procedure?

An endoscopic procedure allows the physician to visualize a part of your gastrointestinal tract with a special instrument called an endoscope. If your family physician has ordered testing, you will be contacted by telephone by one of our staff members. If a physician orders testing and you are in the office, the procedure can generally be scheduled during the course of your visit. You will be given a date, time, and location for the test, as well as written instructions telling you how to prepare for the test. If you have any questions about the procedure, please feel free to ask one of our staff members or the physician.

How do I get test results?

We ask that you wait 10 to 14 days before contacting us for results. Often results come from several different sources. This information needs to be compiled and reviewed by your physician before you can be appropriately advised.

What insurances do you accept?

We accept payment from most insurance companies including Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Physicians Health Plan, Cofinity, Sparrow Professional Health Network, Medicaid, McLaren, Health Plus, and several others. Accepted insurances are subject to change at any time without notice.

If your insurance requires an authorization from your primary care physician, you may be asked to assist us in obtaining this authorization.

All patients are responsible for all copays and deductibles at the time of service.

If you have any questions regarding your benefits or insurance coverage, please contact our Billing Department at 248-844-9710.

What if I need to contact the doctor?

To contact your doctor during business hours please call our main number 248-844-9710. If you have an urgent need to speak with the doctor after hours, you will be rerouted to our after hours answering service, and your doctor will be paged. In the case of a medical emergency please proceed directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.
