This condition is seen in some diabetic patients, but I have also come across a few cases in arachnoiditis patients.

The principal features of this condition include:

  • nausea after meals
  • vomiting: especially undigested food in the middle of the night/ before breakfast; vomiting food eaten more than 4 hours previously
  • bloating
  • feeling full after only a few mouthfuls
  • loss of appetite
