Gastric Emptying of Solids in Children with H. pylori-Positive and H. pylori-Negative Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia

Abstract

In dyspeptic children with H. pylori, gastric emptying of a solid was significantly accelerated compared with symptomatic H. pylori uninfected patients. This suggests that H. pylori is able to induce gastric emptying acceleration. Our findings add more information on H. pylori infection and gastroduodenal disease.
