Table 1:

Clinical features of Diabetic and Idiopathic gastroparesis from gastroparesis registries in the Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium

50-60% of DG and IG patients report early satiety and post-prandial fullness. DG patients have greater nausea and longer periods of vomiting than IG. Bloating in both DG and IG is higher in females, overweight, those with altered bowel function and those using probiotics. Vomiting is often presenting symptom in DG. Abdominal pain is often the presenting symptom in IG. Abdominal pain associates with non-acute onset of gastroparesis, bowel disturbances, opiate and antiemetic use. Pain predominant patients have greater impairment in quality of life than nausea/vomiting predominant patients.
