Associated symptoms

The typical accompanying symptoms of an early dumping syndrome are mainly cramp-like abdominal pain up to diarrhea, nausea and vomiting and circulation problems shortly after eating. In the case of late dumping syndrome, the main symptoms are classic hypoglycaemia, i.e. low blood pressure, cold sweat, ravenous hunger and feelings of weakness. Often there are also mixed images of an early and a late dumping syndrome.

Do you suffer from abdominal pain and want to get it under control quickly?

Diarrhea as a symptom of a dumping syndrome is mainly found in early dumping syndrome. The reason for this is the too fast emptying of the stomach after food intake, due to the missing stomach gatekeeper after a partial removal of the stomach. The food does not reach the newly connected loop of the small intestine in portions, but too quickly in too large quantities, which leads to a greatly increased influx of water into the intestine from the surrounding tissue. This not only causes circulatory problems, but also a strong dilution of the bowel movement, which leads to diarrhea.

What is the best diet for dumping syndrome?

With a Dumping syndrome it can help, if one pays attention to the fact that with the food intake rather to carbohydrate-poorer courts is fallen back. If carbohydrates are ingested, they should be complex carbohydrates (e.g. high-fiber whole grain products; avoid sugary foods and drinks).It is also important to eat slowly and preferably in several small portions and meals spread out over the day. Thus one makes possible a rather portioned food intake into the intestine and avoids a Speisebreiflut with missing stomach gate function most likely.

Also the food intake while lying down can sometimes be helpful. Also strongly salted meals are rather unfavorable, since this additionally still the water influx into the intestine during the digestion and thus the Durchfallsymptomatik promotes. The same applies to an increased fluid intake at mealtimes – here, less fluid should be drunk with food. Sufficient fluid intake for the day should rather take place independently of meals.
