Hello! Gastrointestinal emptying generally refers to problems in the digestive system that lead to irregular eating habits, making it unable to leave edible substances behind and expel them. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to systematically treat the condition, as the treatment success rate is very high in the early stages of the disease.
