What lifestyle change(s) will the healthcare provider discuss with a patient who is experiencing the symptoms associated with slow gastric emptying? Slow emptying of stomach contents can increase intragastric pressure, which consequently contributes to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Factors that are associated with delayed emptying include smoking and high-fat meals. Medications that increase gastric emptying and motility can help. Initial treatment for GERD includes lifestyle modifications like weight loss, avoiding offending foods, e.g., spicy, elevating the head of the bed, and avoiding meals before bedtime can alleviate GERD symptoms.
