What is Bariatric Dumping Syndrome?

AddisonBrown

Bariatric dumping syndrome is also called "rapid gastric emptying". When the lower section of the small intestine (jejunum) fills up too rapidly with undigested food or liquid from the stomach, some quite disagreeable digestive effects can occur.

In bariatric patients it is most commonly triggered by a weight loss surgery diet that consists of consuming carbohydrates like sugar, or some starches. Early dumping symptoms begin during or immediately following a meal. A patient may feel nauseous, bloated, dizzy, and overly tired. Shortness of breath may occur and diarrhea is common.

The main cause of early dumping is because food passes quickly into the small bowel, mixed with only a very small amount of saliva and stomach acid (if any stomach acid at all). The food remains in larger, less broken-up portions than usual. If you have any more Ideas and tips then feel free to share here.
