What is it called when your stomach does not empty right after a meal?

Normally it does take awhile for the stomach to empty after eating but is usually empty in about 12 hours if no other food has been consumed during that time. Improper emptying is often a condition called Gerd or acid reflux. Searching online offers a great many references, explanations and guides to the treatment of this condition.
Correction: GERDS can be caused by the slowing of the stomach properly emptying after a meal. The stomach function slow down can be caused from many things, or a combination of things such as age and sedentary lifestyle, low production of the proper balance of digestive enzymes, stomach lining deterioration, smooth muscle and tissue sclerosis from other disease processes, trauma from unavoidable exposure to radiation during treatments to nearby organs, or just side effects of other medications. The exact causes are difficult to identify for even the most experienced doctors and is sometimes a journey of discovery all by itself.
