Dumping syndrome

Follows a gastrectomy (Billroth I/II)


Cramps, rapid pulse, weakness, perspiration, dizziness


When rapidly hydrolyzed CHO enters the jejunum, water is drawn in to achieve osmotic balance. This causes a rapid decrease in the vascular l fluid compartment and a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance. Blood pressure drops and signs of cardiac insufficiency appear. About two hours later, the CHO digested and absorbed rapidly. Blood sugar rises, stimulating an overproduction of insulin, causing a drop in blood sugar below fasting. This is reactive or alimentary hypoglycemia.

Billroth I

Gastroduodenostomy - attaches the remaining stomach to the duodenum.

Billroth II

Gastrojejunostomy - Attaches it to the jejunum. When food bypasses the duodenum, the secretion of secretin and pancreozymin by the duodenum is reduced.

Calcium and Iron are absorbed best in ?

Ca - most rapid absorption in duodenum


Fe - Requires acid

B12 deficiency (anemia)

Lack of intrinsic factor and bacterial growth in loop of intestine being bypassed interfered with B12 absorption (Pernicious anemia diagnosed using the Schilling test)

Folate deficiency

Needs B12 for transport inside the cell; also from poor folate intake and low serum Fe (Cofactor in folate metabolism)

Gastroparesis

Delayed gastric emptying


Moderate to severe hyperglycemia


Prokinetics (Erythromycin, Metoclopramide) increases stomach contractility

Diverticulosis

Presence of diverticuli - small mucosal sacs that protrude though the intestinal wall due to structural weakness. Related to constipation and lifelong intra-colonic pressures.


High fiber helps increase volume and weight residue

Diverticulitis

When diverticula become inflamed as a result of food and residue accumulation and bacterial action



Clear liquid, low-residue or elemental, gradual return to high fiber

IBD - ?

Inflammatory bowel disease


Regional enteritis ( Crohn's disease )

Alcoholic liver disease

Liver injury due to alcohol and metabolic derangements it causes


Alcohol converts to acetaldehyde and excess H which disrupts liver metabolism


H replaces fat a fuel (in kreb cycle), so fat accumulates in liver (leads to fatty liver) and in blood (raises TG levels)

Alcohol interferes with ?

Thiamin, B12, Vitamin C, Folic acid

Pancreatitis
