Q

Dumping Syndrome

A

Dumping Syndrome occurs as a complication of gastric surgeries that inhibit the ability of the pyloric sphincter to control the movement of food into the small intestine.

This “dumping” results in nausea, distention, cramping pains, and diarrhea within 15 min after eating.

Weakness, dizziness, a rapid heartbeat, and hypoglycemia may occur.

Small, frequent meals are indicated.

Consumption of protein and fat at each meal is indicated.

Avoid concentrated sugars.

Restrict lactose intake.

Consume liquids 1 hr before or after eating instead of with meals (a dry diet).

Avoid eating frequent meals and snacks, as they promote increased gastric acid secretion.

Avoid alcohol, cigarette smoking, aspirin and other NSAIDs, coffee, black pepper, spicy foods, and caffeine.
