Overview

For investigational therapies of dumping syndromes continuous enteral feeding, drugs, electrical pacing of the stomach and surgical re-intervention may be considered.

Future or Investigational Therapies

Procedures

• Continuous enteral feeding.
• Electrical stimulation of the small intestine to achieve gastrointestinal pacing in dumping syndrome.
• In dogs prepared with truncal vagotomy, distal gastrectomy, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction, retrograde electrical pacing of the Roux-en-Y reconstruction significantly delayed gastric emptying and absorption of a glucose meal and decreased postcibal hemoconcentration.

Drugs

Verapamil may be considered.
