| However, in some cases of gastric paresis, dumping syndrome and diabetes, the slow and controlled delivery of formula is necessary to prevent aspiration, diarrhea and blood sugar swings, respectively. It may also reduce the incidence of adverse consequences of bariatric procedures such as dumping syndrome (rapid gastric emptying). Dumping syndrome occurs when the small intestine fills too quickly with undigested food from the stomach, as can happen following gastric bypass surgery. |
