Question 10

What is dumping syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Dumping syndrome is a possible side effect or complication of certain weight loss procedures. This refers to the sudden emptying or &ldquo;dumping&rdquo; of concentrated food from the stomach directly into the small intestine. After a Gastric Bypass surgery, the small stomach pouch may empty the food without first diluting it with digestive fluids that are present in the rest of the stomach. Certain food items such as sweets and fatty foods can irritate the small intestine and lead to discomfort.
Also, eating or drinking fluids together may cause dumping syndrome and to prevent this, it is recommended to wait half an hour between small meals.
