Q The endoscopy is clean, but I feel full and nauseous even after eating just a little. Can something tests don't catch improve with Korean medicine?
A Endoscopy looks at wounds or tumors in the stomach lining, so a slow-emptying movement problem isn't well revealed. This kind of functional rather than structural problem is an area where Korean medicine, which regulates stomach movement, shows its strength.
Detailed Answer
Gastroparesis is a functional problem caused by slow gastric emptying even when the stomach lining is fine. So endoscopy looks normal, and it is confirmed by a gastric emptying scan that measures emptying time or a test of stomach movement. A clean test does not mean the symptoms are mild.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine is accustomed to addressing functional imbalance rather than visible damage. By raising motility so the stomach sends food down on time, we aim to reduce bloating and nausea that tests don't easily catch.
