Pathophysiology of dumping syndrome

13

•  The sudden presence of gastric contents in the proximal small intestine has the physiological response:

•  To release of bradykinin, serotonin and enteroglucagon,

•  Fluid shift •  Leading to early symptoms in less than

30 min.

•  Late symptoms: Within 90 min to 3 h, appear due to high insulin secretion causing hypoglycemia

Early dumping vs late dumping

15

•  The Arts score –assesses the severity of symptoms after ingestion of glucose for diagnosis of early dumping, and one to two hours for late dumping.

•  Likert scale : intensity on a scale of 0-3, where 0 represents the absence of certain symptoms, 1 mild, 2 moderate and 3 severe intensity.

GI physiological investigations

16

•  Gastric emptying is abnormal in two thirds of patients: •  Rapid emptying almost three times as common as delayed

emptying (Loavenbruck A, 2015 ) •  Rapid emptying can cause dumping syndrome leading to

postprandial symptoms seen in PoTS patients (Berg P, 2016 ) •  •  Gastric myoelectrical activity - abnormal in

PoTS patients, particularly in those with postprandial symptoms:

Exclusion of other causes

19

•  A thorough medical history, systems review, detailed drug history and physical examination are essential to rule out important differentials: •  Diabetes mellitus •  Hypothyroidism •  Connective tissue disorders •  Coeliac disease •  Inflammatory bowel disease •  Infections •  Neurological disorders •  Drug effects e.g. opiates can produce bowel

dysfunction

•  Endoscopies •  Cross sectional imaging •  Upper and/or lower GI physiology studies •  Neurological signs esp. morning nusea:

•  CT or MRI of the head. •  Oral glucose challenge in pts. with postprandial

hypoglycemia. •  Autonomic function tests – Tilt Table Test etc

Management: Dietary and lifestyle modifications

22

•  Ingestion of food is a major trigger for GI symptoms in patients with PoTS.

•  Lack of strong available evidence to support specific dietary modifications

•  our experience suggests that dietary alteration can improve symptoms.

•  Proper dietary history: •  Food intake diary - identify specific triggers and

avoid unnecessary dietary restrictions.

Dietary advice in dumping syndrome

•  In patients with rapid gastric emptying and postprandial hypoglycemia we recommend the following:

•  Eat small and frequent meals •  Eat slowly and chew food thoroughly •  Opt for low-glycemic-index foods •  Increase fat and protein intake to balance energy

requirements •  Separate intake of liquids from solids, avoiding liquids for

half an hour before and after meals. •  Lie down for 30 minutes after meals - this can reduce

postprandial symptoms e.g. palpitations, flushing or dizziness

•  Increasing intake of salt and water appears to improve symptoms of nausea

In patients with gastroparesis, we recommend: •  Adequate chewing to reduce the

size of the food •  Avoid intake of insoluble fiber •  ‘Graze’ – eat regular small meals •  Reduce fat intake •  Semi solid diet

When to refer to the gastro clinic?

25

•  Significant postprandial symptoms •  Worsening of usual PoTS symptoms. •  Symptoms suggestive of post prandial

reactive hypoglycemia. •  A proportion of PoTS patients can have

delayed gastric emptying •  early satiety, •  nausea and/or vomiting, •  fullness and bloating

Pharmacological therapy

26

•  Anecdotal experience that GI symptoms improve following treatment of PoTS symptoms with:

•  Mineralocorticoids such as fludrocortisone •  Sympathomimetics such as midodrine •  Hormonal treatment: Octreotide

•  Psychological support when the patient has difficulty with coping

Conclusions

28

•  PoTS - a range of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms •  Organic GI conditions need to be ruled out •  GI physiology testing could help to define the GI

phenotype and guide management strategies. •  No established guidelines for the management of GI

symptoms in PoTS and patients are therefore treated symptomatically.

•  Management of PoTS with conservative measures and drug treatment can improve GI symptoms especially nausea and post prandial somnolence and dizziness
