Overview
Medical Therapy
- 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 carbohydrates, 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 inhibitors (such as pantoprazole) to slow their digestion.
