If you've had gastric surgery or part of your stomach removed and you're having the symptoms
of dumping syndrome such as diarrhea, flushing, or dizziness it's important to change your
diet in order to adapt to this dumping syndrome. Having smaller meals, low carbohydrate meals,
not mixing liquids and solids with your meals so really just keeping them separate so that
the stomach empties a little bit more consistently. Low fiber may actually help with managing
those symptoms as well. Again, it's a little bit difficult to manage but by changing your
diet a little bit it becomes a little bit more manageable.
If you still have dumping syndrome and you've tried all the dietary changes and it's still
not working, you're still getting very symptomatic, your doctor may prescribe medications to help
slow down the emptying of your stomach and slow down the whole digestive track. By slowing
down the digestive track it will help you cope with the symptoms.
