hi
thanks for your question.
Yes I have heard of frozen stomach.
Frozen stomach simply mean non functional stomach, usually can be a result of adhesions post operatively. If the stomach is frozen its difficult for food to pass.
You need to see gastroenterologists for further management.
Hope I answered your question.
