Is Gastroparesis hereditary?

There is no direct answer here. So far it is not considered heridetary.

They have started to notice a small pattern, sometimes, that it might be hereditary to a degree. Not entirely but to a degree. There are people with gastroparesis who's children also ended up with gastroparesis. There are many people who are the only ones in their family with gastroparesis or unhealthy. I did read how other issues such as diabetes can lead to gastroparesis in the family later is being looked into, but so far I haven't read anything conclusive on gastroparesis being hereditary nor have I been told anything conclusive by my doctors on a hereditary factor. There is much doctors do not know about G.P and more studies are being done. I do try to stay on top of the studies and trials.
