Study of stomach emptying with diet and ultrasound
This study uses ultrasound to see how quickly your stomach empties after a meal. It aims to learn more about normal stomach function in healthy adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 40 years old
- You cannot have any past or current digestive problems (like diabetes, reflux, or stomach surgery)
- You must be willing to follow a specific diet before the test
- You cannot have had recent abdominal surgery
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications that affect stomach movement

This study measures how quickly food leaves the stomach in people who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) at least 2 years ago. The goal is to create normal reference values for this test, which may help doctors better understand digestive issues after surgery.
This study measures how quickly a baby’s stomach empties after formula feeding. It may help doctors better understand normal digestion timing in newborns and infants.
This study looks at how well the stomach empties in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid food through a tube. It compares patients who are also on ECMO (a machine that helps the heart and lungs) with those who are not, to see if ECMO affects stomach emptying.
This study compares the accuracy of a stomach ultrasound (a painless scan) with a traditional tube test (gastroscopy) to see how much food or fluid is left in the stomach. This could help doctors know if the stomach is empty before procedures, reducing risks.
This study uses an ultrasound to look at how full your stomach is after taking GLP-1 medications for diabetes or weight loss. It will help doctors understand if current fasting guidelines are safe before surgery or a colonoscopy.
This study looks at how fast the stomach empties in healthy volunteers and people taking semaglutide (a GLP-1 agonist drug for diabetes or weight loss). It may help understand how this drug affects digestion.
