Researchers at Mayo Clinic want to better understand Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE)—a condition where blood vessels in the stomach become enlarged and can bleed, causing symptoms like belly pain and nausea. This study will help doctors learn how common these symptoms are and whether they're connected to how quickly the stomach empties food.
Doctors don't yet fully understand how often stomach function problems occur in people with GAVE, or how these problems affect their daily symptoms. This research will fill that gap and help improve care for patients with this condition.

You will undergo a gastric emptying breath test, which measures how quickly your stomach empties solid food. For this test, you'll eat a small meal containing a special, harmless carbon isotope, then breathe into a collection bag at set intervals so researchers can measure how fast the food moves through your stomach. The study compares results between people with and without enlarged stomach blood vessels to help understand the connection between this condition and stomach function.
