+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome overview|Overview]]==
-'''Gastric dumping syndrome''', or '''rapid gastric emptying''', happens when the lower end of the small intestine, the [[jejunum]], fills too quickly with undigested food from the [[stomach]]. "Early" dumping begins during or right after a meal. Symptoms of early dumping include nausea, vomiting, [[bloating]], cramping, diarrhea, dizziness and fatigue. "Late" dumping happens 1 to 3 hours after eating. Symptoms of late dumping include weakness, sweating, and dizziness. Many people have both types.
+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-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".
+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome classification|Classification]]==
-==Causes==
+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-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).[http://www.drdonnica.com/faqs/00007641.htm]
-Patients with [[Zollinger-Ellison syndrome]], a rare disorder involving extreme [[peptic ulcer]] disease and gastrin-secreting tumors in the [[pancreas]], may also have dumping syndrome.
+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome causes|Causes]]==
-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.
+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome differential diagnosis|Differentiating Gastric dumping syndrome from other Diseases]]==
-Finally, patients with connective tissue conditions such as [[Ehlers-Danlos syndrome]] can experience "late" dumping as a result of decreased motility.
+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
+==[[Gastric dumping syndrome natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
 ==Diagnosis==
-Doctors diagnose dumping syndrome primarily on the basis of symptoms in patients who have had gastric surgery.  Tests may be needed to exclude other conditions that have similar symptoms. Nuclear gastric emptying studies can be useful in the diagnosis of rapid gastric emptying and helpful in assessing a patient's response to therapy.

 ==Treatment==
-Dumping syndrome is largely avoidable by avoiding certain foods which are likely to cause it, therefore having a [[balanced diet]] is important. Treatment includes changes in eating habits and medication. People who have gastric dumping syndrome need to eat several small meals a day that are low in [[carbohydrate]]s, especially omitting simple sugars (candy, desserts, ice cream), and should drink liquids between meals, not with them. People with severe cases take medicine such as [[cholestyramine]] or [[proton pump inhibitor]]s (such as [[pantoprazole]]) to slow their digestion. Doctors may also recommend [[surgery]].
