To provide oral domperidone to patients between the ages of 18 and 60 years of age, according to the investigator's judgment, a prokinetic effect is needed for the relief of severe gastroparesis. We have defined severe gastroparesis as 1) positive gastric emptying scintigraphy (more than 10% residue at 4 hours), 2) nausea, 3) early satiety, 4) abdominal pain. We will recruit patients for two years and the patients will be given domperidone for up to two years.

Symptoms or manifestation secondary to gastroparesis such as vomiting, nausea, the feeling you are full after you start eating, and abdominal pain. 4. Subjects must have a comprehensive evaluation to eliminate other causes of their symptoms which includes gastric emptying scintigraphy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and the patient's subjective symptoms. 5. Subject has signed informed consent for the administration of domperidone that informs the patient of potential adverse events 6. Female subjects must be: 1. surgically sterile (have had a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation) 2. if sexual active, practicing an effective method of birth control such as hormonal prescription oral contraceptives, progesterone implants or injections, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, or maintenance of a monogamous relationship with a male partner who has been surgically sterilized by vasectomy. A double barrier method such as condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps with spermicidal foam, cream, or gel may be used as a method of birth control Exclusion Criteria: 1.
