Question:

What is dumping syndrome?

Author: Alex Meek



Answer:

Dumping syndrome is a rapid gastric emptying of undigested food from the stomach to the small intestine causing distention of the duodenum or jejunum. Increased intestinal motility and changes in blood glucose levels occur. It is a direct result of surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach.
