Quantifying the “Slosh Stomach”: A Novel Tool for Assessment of Exercise-Associated Gastroparesis Symptoms in Endurance Athletes

Abstract: Introduction. We describe a novel scale and its field use for evaluation of exercise-associated gastroparesis in the endurance athlete. Methods. A scale was created based on gastroparesis tools previously described in the medical literature. Surveys of the tool were administered to runners participating in a 210 km multiday foot race in Sri Lanka. Results. Use of this novel scale was demonstrated to be useful in assessing gastroparesis severity scores of athletes and how these symptoms affected their race perf… Show more

“…In addition, exercise stimulates the sympathetic neuroendocrine pathways, which reduces gastric emptying and overall motility, possibly exacerbating any risk of gastric distress. Gastroparesis or ‘slosh stomach’ may contribute to reduced nutrient absorption or gastrointestinal cell injury, but the overall rates and consequences in athletes are unknown [ 15 ]. Research continues to build a comprehensive picture around the various aspects of the cascade and its possible mitigating factors.…”
