Gastroparesis in systemic sclerosis: a detailed analysis using whole-gut scintigraphy.

Gastric emptying of liquids when given alongside solids may be more sensitive and provide a more clinically relevant measure of gastroparesis in SSc than solid gastric emptying or liquid gastric emptying alone. SSc patients with gastroparesis frequently have dysmotility in other areas of the GI tract, underscoring the need for whole-gut scintigraphy to evaluate the entire gut.
