Early Satiety

Early satiety occurs when you are unable to eat a full meal, or you feel very full after eating only a small amount of food. Early satiety is usually caused by gastroparesis, a condition in which your stomach is slow to empty. Other causes of early satiety include:

• An obstruction
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Tumor of the abdominal organs
• Ulcers of the stomach (peptic ulcers)

Symptoms of early satiety include:

• A feeling of fullness after eating very little food
• An inability to consume a normal-sized meal
• Nausea and vomiting when you attempt to eat a normal-sized meal
