Brian Lacy et al. argue that #gastroparesis is as much a disorder of gut-brain interaction as it is a disorder defined by delayed gastric emptying.
Approaching gastroparesis as a DGBI has the potential to expand the list of treatment options.

Arguably one of the best pieces I've read in 2023:
The @AmerGastroAssn Clinical Practice Update by @BMoshiree et al. in @AGA_Gastro
My 🗝️ takeaways:
⛔️ routine gastric emptying test
⛔️ probiotics
✅ gut-brain behavioral therapies
