11Mercury-Containing Foods
Mercury is a heavy metal that would hurt your digestive tract and lead to many serious issues. It can inhibit the generation of essential enzymes that support the digestive system and other functions. Also, mercury would prevent good bacteria in the gut from growing. People with gastroparesis would suffer from worsen symptoms if they consume foods or products with this substance. Unfortunately, this is a rather common element in the environment due to industrial pollution and contamination. Some foods that would contain this toxin include fish oil, protein powder, duck eggs, and seafood. In addition to gastroparesis, mercury might lead to indigestion, diarrhea, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or abdominal pain. [11]
