The manifestations of the disease, which could indicate its development, are varied.
The severity of symptoms depends on whether the excitation of which nervous system prevails - sympathetic or parasympathetic. So, with the sympathetic-adrenal type of dumping syndrome, the signs of the disease are. In addition, the patient may experience numbness in the lower extremities, a tremor may appear. An increase in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate in dumping syndrome after gastric resection are characteristic symptoms.
In the vagotonic type of the disease, when parts of the parasympathetic nervous system are primarily involved, patients experience pain in the intestinal region, a decrease in blood pressure.
After eating, the patient may be thrown into a fever, his sweating increases, the activity of calcitriol pills glands increases, and the pulse rate decreases. With vagotonic dumping syndrome, patients suffer from persistent diarrhea. There is another type of pathology - mixed, which combines symptoms typical of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic forms. Manifestations of mixed dumping syndrome are accompanied by strong overexcitation.
Unlike chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, dumping syndrome is almost impossible to detect at an early stage.
Those clinical manifestations that occur in patients indicate full violations of the digestive process. Diagnosis of dumping syndrome involves a comprehensive examination, consultation with a gastroenterologist and a psychologist. For the purpose of examination, the patient will have to pass several tests and undergo diagnostic procedures.
In addition to laboratory tests, the patient will be prescribed x-rays using a contrast agent.
Since the gastrointestinal tract consists of abdominal organs, other methods for visualizing them are considered ineffective. Before starting the diagnosis, the patient is injected with a contrast agent, which remains for some time in the upper gastrointestinal tract, which makes it possible to clarify for what period of time it is removed from the stomach or its stump, to identify the anatomical features of the jejunum and to assess the peristalsis of the small intestine.
It is difficult to say how effective alternative remedies are in the treatment of this disease, but, judging by the reviews, they are used to alleviate the symptoms of dumping syndrome.
