Did You Know!
Your Stomach Can “Shut Down” Without Warning
A condition called Gastroparesis can cause your stomach to stop emptying properly—even when there’s no blockage.
Instead of moving food into the intestines, the stomach slows or completely stalls digestion.
Why it’s surprising:
- It can happen without obvious symptoms at first
- It’s often linked to nerve damage (especially the vagus nerve)
- People may feel full after just a few bites
