Brief Summary  

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin secretion or action defects. Gastrointestinal neuropathies in patients with diabetes represent vital aspects of the chronic course of the disease. This can be perceived as chronic delayed gastrointestinal emptying associated with nausea, vomiting, postprandial fullness, weight loss, anorexia, and abdominal pain without evidence of mechanical obstruction. Small Bowel Transit  is often found to be abnormal in Diabetic patients and may lead to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Upto 80% patients with diabetic gastroparesis have abnormal small bowel motility. Traditional treatments for Diabetic Gastroparesis include dietary changes and medication, but severe cases may require surgery or gastric electrical stimulation (GES). Pistacia species extracts suggest alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms, yet no Indian studies support the evidence despite Pistacia plant species being present in the Great Himalayan regions. This study explores the therapeutic potential of Pistacia plants in treating Diabetic Gastroparesis, in a subset of patients with delayed small bowel transit, leveraging their natural antioxidants to enhance gut motility.
