| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to use the Squid magnetometer (Superconducting QUantum
Interference Device) to help diagnose electrical and mechanical abnormalities of the stomach
and intestines.
|
| Study Summary: |
|
The Squid magnetometer is a non-invasive investigational device that measures the electrical
activity in the smooth muscle of the intestines. Volunteers with normal bowel activity,
those with gastric problems, and diabetics with gastric problems will be studied under the
SQuid to determine normal and abnormal activity. Diabetics with an abnormal gastric emptying
study will be asked to participate.

| Criteria: |
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- Normal volunteers, those with stomach problems, and Diabetics with abnormal gastric
emptying study
Exclusion Criteria:
- Diabetics with a normal gastric emptying study
- Participants with claustrophobia
