What Is Dumping Syndrome?
Dumping syndrome is a condition that occurs in people that have just had surgery on their digestive system. Usually, food will enter into the stomach where it will wait until the small intestine is ready to receive and process it. In dumping syndrome, however, the food will pass straight through to the small intestine faster than usual.
This results in a number of unwelcome symptoms. One symptom is a rise in blood sugar levels, and late dumping syndrome means low blood sugar levels because of the excess production of insulin that was created to handle the high levels of sugar. Treatment mainly includes managing what you eat and how much, and the symptoms should gradually subside as the body adjusts to the surgery.
