Cause #9: Dumping Syndrome
Dumping syndrome is a condition also known as rapid gastric emptying. It occurs when food moves too rapidly from stomach to duodenum. It is often seen in patients who have undergone gastric or esophageal surgery, as a side effect of medications, dysfunctional pyloric sphincter, or diabetes.
Symptoms of dumping syndrome include diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, cramps, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and some others. The treatment for dumping syndrome involves modifying dietary habits, improving nutrition, medication, and possible surgery.
