AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISThe  three  most  common  causes  of  gastroparesis  are  idiopathic,  diabetic,  and  postsurgical.Chronic  intestinal  pseudo-obstruction  (CIPO)  involves  intermittent  failure  of  intestinal  peristalsis  in  the  small  or  large  intestine,  or  both.Noninvasive  imaging  or  endoscopy,  or  both,  should  be  used  to  rule  out  mechanical  obstruction  in  patients  being  worked  up  for  gastroparesis  or  CIPO.The  standardized  4-hour  gastric  emptying  scintigraphy  scan  using  a  low-fat,  egg-white  meal  is  the  recommended  test  for  gastroparesis.Accelerated  gastric  emptying  and  dumping  syndrome  are  often  related  to  postgastric  surgery  and  may  have  symptoms  that  mimic  delayed  emptying.
