* Esophageal surgery may also impair gastric retentive capacity because the accompanying vagotomy causes rapid liquid emptying. Hyperosmolar nutrients in the small bowel presumably cause a shift of fluid from the intravascular compartment (i.e. plasma) to the intestinal lumen, resulting in a reduction in plasma volume, tachycardia, and, rarely, syncope. Movement of fluid into the small bowel may also cause distention and contribute to cramp-like contractions, bloating and diarrhoea. Whether this fluid shift contributes to the pathophysiology of dumping syndrome or is mainly a consequence of this process remains unknown. In favour of the latter interpretation, intravenous fluid substitution is not effective in preventing early dumping symptoms<ref name="pmid14452070">{{cite journal |vauthors=JOHNSON LP, SLOOP RD, JESSEPH JE |title=Etiologic significance of the early symptomatic phase in the dumping syndrome |journal=Ann.

* . Another important mechanism involved in the pathophysiology of early dumping syndrome (and also late dumping syndrome as described below) involves the increased release of multiple GI hormones including vasoactive agents (e.g. neurotensin and vasoactive intestinal peptide [VIP]), incretins (e.g. gastric inhibitory polypeptide [GIP] and GLP-1), and glucose modulators (e.g. insulin and glucagon)<ref name="pmid17643905">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tack J |title=Gastric motor disorders |journal=Best Pract Res Clin Gastroenterol |volume=21 |issue=4 |pages=633–44 |year=2007 |pmid=17643905 |doi=10.1016/j.bpg.2007.04.001 |url=}}</ref>.
* Enhanced release of these GI hormones may induce discoordinated GI motility and inhibit secretion, as well as elicit hemodynamic effects; for example, neurotensin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide induce splanchnic vasodilation that results in hypotension and systemic hemoconcentration<ref name="pmid3985800">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sirinek KR, O'Dorisio TM, Howe B, McFee AS |title=Neurotensin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy.

===Late dumping===
Late dumping syndrome occurs between 60-180 minutes.
* Rapid glucose absorption
* Incretin release (GLP-1)
* Amplified insulin secretion
In contrast to the multiple pathophysiologic factors involved in early dumping syndrome, the pathophysiology of late dumping is largely attributable to the development of hyperinsulinemic or reactive hypoglycemia<ref name="pmid9200302">{{cite journal |vauthors=Vecht J, Masclee AA, Lamers CB |title=The dumping syndrome.

Enteral glucose administration is known to induce enhanced insulin release relative to intravenous administration, a process known as the incretin effect. Two GI hormones are believed to play a pivotal role in the incretin effect: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide or gastric inhibitory polypeptide and GLP-1. An increased GLP-1 response has been reported in patients after gastric surgery, and a positive correlation has been observed between increasing GLP-1 levels and insulin release<ref name="pmid9794105">{{cite journal |vauthors=Toft-Nielsen M, Madsbad S, Holst JJ |title=Exaggerated secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) could cause reactive hypoglycaemia |journal=Diabetologia |volume=41 |issue=10 |pages=1180–6 |year=1998 |pmid=9794105 |doi=10.1007/s001250051049 |url=}}</ref>.

However, the precise mechanism by which GLP-1 contributes to glucose homeostasis and late dumping syndrome is likely to be complex and remains to be fully elucidated.

Overview
The exact pathogenesis of dumping syndrome is not fully understood. Relatively few recent studies have been devoted to elucidating the mechanisms involved in early and late dumping syndromes, and much of our current knowledge is based on older literature[1]. Symptoms of early and late dumping syndrome appear to be caused by distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
Dumping syndrome occurs secondary to various conditions such as after gastric surgery (especially on taking meals high in carbohydrates after the procudure), diabetes mellitus, in Zolinger-Ellison syndrome.... The pathogenesis of dumping syndrome varies according to the etiology. The exact reason isn't yet concluded, although several known phenomena may contribute to the development of early dumping symptoms.[2]
Pathogenesis in surgery
Flowchart
The following flow chart outlines the major events involved in the pathogenesis of dumping syndrome:[3]
Dumping syndrome is most common in patients with certain types of stomach surgery, such as a gastrectomy or gastric bypass surgery, that allow the stomach to empty rapidly. Dumping syndrome can also occur as a result of complications after a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal).[1]
Dumping is also common for esophageal cancer patients who have had an esophagectomy; surgery to remove the cancerous portion of their esophagus. The stomach is pulled into the chest and attached to what remains of the esophagus, leaving a short digestive tract. Both early and late dumping syndrome can occur.
In addition, people with this syndrome often suffer from low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, because the rapid "dumping" of food triggers the pancreas to release excessive amounts of insulin into the bloodstream. This type of hypoglycemia is referred to as "alimentary hypoglycemia".
