Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to gastroparesis:

1. I have diabetes. How likely is it that I will develop gastroparesis?
   
   
2. I have lost weight recently even though I have not been trying. Could my weight loss be caused by gastroparesis?
   
   
3. What is causing my gastroparesis?
   
   
4. Are the symptoms I'm experiencing typical of gastroparesis?
   
   
5. How will I know if I develop a bezoar?
   
   
6. Will my gastroparesis end after I stop taking the medication that is causing it?
   
   
7. Which tests will you perform to diagnose my suspected gastroparesis?
   
   
8. What changes should I make to my diet and eating habits?
   
   
9. What medication should I take (if any) to treat my gastroparesis?
   
   
10. Could my gastroparesis have been prevented?
