It was hypothesized that the transient postprandial decrease of the dominant frequency in the electrogastrogram (EGG) is related to the temperature of the meal. In a randomized three‐period cross‐over design, EGG recordings were made in 10 healthy volunteers. A liquid meal (36 kcal, 300 mL) was inge...
