Background: Gastroparesis is a delay in gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction, lacking a clear pathophysiological mechanism, but with multiple histological abnormalities including loss of interstitial cells of Cajal, which may alter slow waves. We can assess slow waves with electrogastrography.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and range of abnormalities in gastric slow waves in adults with gastroparesis using electrogastrography.
Background/aims: We hypothesize that patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) drink less water volume than healthy subjects during water load test. We evaluated and compared the water load test in students with and without FGID using the Rome III questionnaire.
Methods: We performed the water load test in 142 students from two schools in Colombia.
