Why does dumping syndrome occur?
It can occur when food passes too quickly from the stomach into the small intestine. Symptoms may include a combination of nausea, uncomfortable fullness, cramping, and diarrhea or weakness, fatigue, sweating, and a fast heart rate. Consumption of concentrated sweets can promote dumping syndrome. However, it is important to remember that even fruit juice which provides simple sugars in the diet will not provoke the dumping syndrome if taken in a small amount at one time. Portion control is the key to success!
