title: Simultaneous measurement of gastric emptying of digestible and indigestible solids in healthy humans.
abstract: Gastric emptying of digestible and indigestible solids has been simultaneously evaluated in healthy humans. Gastric emptying of indigestible solids occurs simultaneously during the emptying of digestible solids. The knowledge of the mechanism responsible for gastric emptying of both digestible and indigestible solids may contribute to improve physiologic insight in this field and to develop further clinical applications.
