Dumping syndrome

Definition

Nausea, cramping, diarrhea, dizziness and sweating from high-osmolar stomach contents hitting the small intestine too fast. Common after bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y. ⚠ It is the OPPOSITE mechanism to GLP-1 gastroparesis, and the two get confused constantly.
