Background
In modern scenario the problem is not confined to western cultures only and became one of the most important issues all over the world. There is a case when the individuals will prefer to have weight-loss surgery. Patients with gastric surgery may develop disorder known as dumping syndrome which is characterized by rapid passage of food in the stomach.Â
Patients experience physiological alternation of the gastrointestinal system as highly hyperosmolar chyme is accepted into the small intestinal very soon from the stomach which have negative consequences for the patients.Â
Epidemiology
An estimated 20-50% of patients with gastric surgery exhibit signs of the Dumping syndrome. Patients typically experience severe symptoms at a rate of 1 to 5%. Early Dumping syndrome appears to occur more frequently than late Dumping syndrome.Â
Anatomy
Pathophysiology
The chyme’s quick migration is most likely the origin of the dumping syndrome. In patients who have not undergone gastric surgery, digestion begins in the stomach and gradually moves to the duodenum. Food is first broken down by acid and proteases, which encourages smaller food particles to be digested in the duodenum.Â
When this pathway is surgically altered, this physiological mechanism is diminished. Pylorus bypass surgery or changes to gastric innervation may result in effects like a smaller stomach reserve or a quicker passage of hyperosmolar meals into the duodenum.
Early DumpingÂ
The early stages of dumping would normally occur ten to thirty minutes after a meal. The enlarged volume in the small bowel is caused by the flow of the fluid from the vasculature to the intestinal lumen in response to the emergence of the hyperosmolar chyme that moves from the stomach into the duodenum speedy. such as tachycardia, diarrhea & nausea and stomach cramps which up to now there was little evidence for it being responsible.Â
Late DumpingÂ
Late dumping or postprandial hyperinsulinemia usually occurs one to three hours after a high-carb meal. There are connections between hypoglycemia and some conditions albeit the exact process is unknown. It has been proposed that rapid absorption of carbs improves the glucose-mediated insulin response.Â
Etiology
Dietary changes are a helpful treatment for the majority of dumping syndrome cases. The efficacy of such approaches is not well established, but the healthcare professional may suggest medicinal or surgical management if dietary changes are unsuccessful.Â

Treatment Paradigm
Dietary adjustments: Meals should be small and frequent to minimise symptoms and prevent fast stomach emptying.
Avoid clear of meals rich in sugar: Prevent reactive hypoglycemia and late dumping syndrome by limiting or avoiding foods high in simple sugars such as sweets sugary drinks and processed carbs. Â
Eat suitable meals in terms of carbohydrates and proteins and fats, it can be managed, and related symptoms may be absent.
Eating enough salad veggies and wholegrain exist partly to ensure that the food in the stomach will be emptied at a slower rate hence leading to a feeling of fullness.
Frequent exercise: Keep sugar control and better gastrointestinal motility and general health can be promoted and maintained as a result of regular physical activity.Â

Hydration management: One of the methods that a bloated stomach and alleviate early dumping syndrome is going to be when people consume fluids between meals.Â
Physical activity: Take the time to do an exercise and a physical activity on a regular basis. The activities can be utilized for controlling blood sugar levels, in addition to them, they also helps with enhancing the gastrointestinal motility and improving general health.Â
Stress reduction: Stress being a cause for dumping syndrome in most cases introduce measures to handle it making the home and work ambiance secure and friendly.Â
Use of Hypoglycemic agents
Acarbose: It is the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor which postpones the digestion of carbohydrates in the small bowel environment ultimately causing a slow and steady increase in the blood sugar concentration after eating a meal.
Use off Antisecretory agents
Octreotide: It is an analogue designed of somatostatin which prevents the outburst of the gastrointestinal hormones including insulin and glucagon; and this regulation makes gastric contents to be released out slowly thus symptoms of dumping syndrome are eliminated.

Surgery for gastric bypass: This will only happen in case of dumping syndrome which is an option post gastric bypass surgery. Surgery to reverse the anatomical changes within the gastrointestinal tract can be done as well.Â
Â
Endoscopic sclerotherapy: Lastly, scaring occurs in the pyloric sphincter and food recedes slowly into the pylorus due to an injection with sclerosing agents.Â

Symptom evaluation: Evaluation of symptoms medical history and other contributing variables such as previous stomach surgery or underlying disorders are all part of the assessment and diagnosis process.
Conservative Measures: To reduce symptoms the first line of treatment focuses on food and lifestyle adjustments.
To minimise symptoms and avoid fast stomach emptying education should be provided about optimal food choices mealtime and amount control. Â
Nutritional Support: Several tests as well as appointments with a nutrition expert aimed to tackle the malnutrition water loss and lack of nutrients found in dumping syndrome.Â
