Causes

Transient gastroparesis may arise in acute illness of any kind,

• Certain cancer treatments or other drugs which affect digestive action,
• Anorexia
• Bulimia
• Other abnormal eating patterns.
• Medications(anticholinergics and narcotics)that slow contractions in the intestine

Chronic gastroparesis is frequently due to autonomic neuropathy.

• Type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes: The vagus nerve becomes damaged by years of high blood glucose, resulting in gastroparesis. Fibromyalgia
• Parkinson's disease
• Mitochondrial disorder.
• Abdominal surgery.
• Amyloidosis
• Scleroderma
• Abdominal migraine
• Hypothyroidism
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease

Idiopathic gastroparesis (gastroparesis with no known cause) accounts for a third of all chronic cases; it is thought that many of these cases are due to an autoimmune response triggered by an acute viral infection

• Stomach flu
• Mononucleosis, and others have been anecdotally linked to the onset of the condition, but no systematic study has proven a link.
