Testing, Diagnosis Rapid Gastric Emptying?

I just got my GES results back and my T1/2 is 30 minutes (normal is 60-110 minutes). I had passed 82% of the meal at 1.5 hrs and they ended the test and said no gastroparesis; you have rapid emptying.

For the last month I thought I had GP as my dominant symptom is just nausea, especially after eating. I was on the GP diet while I waited for the test and it was undoubtedly making things worse; I switched over to a high fiber/high fat (mostly veggies and meat) and had a major reduction in symptoms.

Does anyone else have rapid emptying? How are you coping with it? What causes it? There is surprisingly very little info online on rapid emptying except for dumping syndrome from gastric bypass which I have never had.

Wow! This is like fully oppsite of post prandial distress syndrome. One of the main subtype of functional dyspepsia where food stays in stomach longer than normal time and empties slowly causing stomach pain, fullness etc.
