Front 13

dumping syndrome- What is the dietary intervention?

Back 13

Limit the amount of food material that reaches the intestine, slow the rate of gastric emptying, and reduce foods that increase hypertonicity. Meal size is limited, fluids are restricted during meals, and sugars are restricted.
