Dumping definitions and info . . .

[Guest guest]

The definitions given lately are all pretty much right on, but I thought I'd

send some links, so you can do more reading. These are all medical sites . . .

And while some will argue that barfing is part of dumping, or that barfing *is*

dumping, it's not. Dumping usually involves nausea, tho . . . and you'll *wish*

you could throw it all up, and get it over with. Ha! No such luck! <grin>

What is Dumping Syndrome?

Dumping syndrome is a relatively rare disorder in which the stomach's contents

are delivered too quickly to the small intestine. Symptoms include abdominal

pain, bloating, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and dizziness. In addition, people

with this syndrome often suffer from low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, because

the rapid " dumping " of food triggers the pancreas to release excessive amounts

of insulin into the bloodstream. http://www.drdonnica.com/today/00007893.htm
