    (Top) Well-mixed meals, which correlated to expected solid-meal emptying pattern (less emptying from 0 to 30 min than from 30 to 60 min). (Bottom) Poorly mixed meals, which correlated to unexpected solid-meal emptying pattern (more emptying from 0 to 30 min than from 30 to 60 min for liquid emptying pattern).
