PMID: 6315982 Abstract Title:  Efficacy of guar gum in preventing the dumping syndrome. Abstract:  The occurrence of dumping symptoms during 1 wk of use of 5 g of guar gum or placebo in meals was examined in a double-blind study in 11 patients, who had undergone gastric resection and were suffering from the dumping syndrome. The results show that guar gum prevented the dumping syndrome and increased tolerance to foods not previously tolerated in nine of the 11 patients. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/guar-gum-prevents-dumping-syndrome-patients-who-had-undergone-gastric-resectio#comments Fiber Gastric dumping syndrome Guar gum Human Study Mon, 06 Dec 2010 18:26:36 +0000 greenmedinfo 59308 at https://greenmedinfo.com Guar gum has a therapeutic effect on gastric emptying after gastric resection. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/guar-gum-has-therapeutic-effect-gastric-emptying-after-gastric-resection PMID:  JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr. 1984 Jan-Feb;8(1):18-20. PMID: 6321812 Abstract Title:  Effect of guar gum on gastric emptying after gastric resection. Abstract:  Gastric emptying after a conventional semisolid meal containing 5 g of guar gum granules or placebo was measured in a double-blind, controlled trial, using a radioisotopic (technetium Tc-99m DTPA) technique, in 11 patients who had undergone gastric resection, and who were experiencing the dumping syndrome. Guar gum clearly slowed gastric emptying in five of the 11 patients, and the results suggest that the addition of guar gum to normal meals, especially those rich in monosaccharides or disaccharides, may be helpful to post-gastrectomy patients suffering from the dumping syndrome. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/guar-gum-has-therapeutic-effect-gastric-emptying-after-gastric-resection#comments Fiber Gastric dumping syndrome Guar gum Human Study Mon, 06 Dec 2010 18:25:31 +0000 greenmedinfo 59307 at https://greenmedinfo.com Oral pectin appears to have a therapeutic effect in gastric dumping syndrome. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/oral-pectin-appears-have-therapeutic-effect-gastric-dumping-syndrome PMID:  Lancet. 1981 May 16;1(8229):1075-8. PMID: 6112448 Abstract Title:  Pectin in the dumping syndrome: reduction of symptoms and plasma volume changes. Abstract:  Twelve patients with the dumping syndrome took on one occasion oral hypertonic glucose and on another a similar glucose drink to which pectin was added. After glucose alone eleven patients had symptoms; after glucose with pectin, six had no symptoms and in five symptoms were reduced. Plasma volume changes were significantly less after glucose with pectin, and the hypoglycaemia at 120 min after glucose alone did not occur after glucose with pectin in patients in whom symptoms were abolished. Gastric emptying was prolonged, and serum insulin levels were lower, after glucose with pectin. In those patients to whom gastric emptying rate reverted to near normal with pectin, symptoms were abolished, but symptoms were only reduced in number when gastric emptying, although slowed, remained rapid. The findings suggest that pectin and similar substances may be useful in the day-to-day management of patients with dumping symptoms. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/oral-pectin-appears-have-therapeutic-effect-gastric-dumping-syndrome#comments Gastric dumping syndrome Pectin Human Study Mon, 06 Dec 2010 18:24:26 +0000 greenmedinfo 59306 at https://greenmedinfo.com Pectin has a therapeutic effect on gastric emptying and gut hormone release in the dumping syndrome. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/pectin-has-therapeutic-effect-gastric-emptying-and-gut-hormone-release-dumping PMID:  Scand J Gastroenterol. 1983 May;18(3):327-36. PMID: 6369514 Abstract Title:  Effect of pectin on gastric emptying and gut hormone release in the dumping syndrome. Abstract:  The effect of pectin on gastric emptying, gut hormone release, and symptoms was studied in four patients with dumping syndrome and in two healthy volunteers after ingestion of a hypertonic glucose meal with and without addition of pectin. The initial fraction emptied from the stomach was reduced in the patients, whose symptoms of dumping were abolished or alleviated by pectin. This change of the emptying seems to be caused by a prolonged stomach transit, probably due to the viscous nature of the pectin meal. Pectin had no effect on the gastric emptying of the volunteers. The motor activity of the stomach was not altered by pectin in either the patients or volunteers. In the patients insulin, enteroglucagon, neurotensin, and gastric inhibitory polypeptide rose to higher levels after the glucose meal than after the glucose-pectin meal. The individual differences in the hormone release were considered secondary to the altered gastric emptying produced by pectin. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/pectin-has-therapeutic-effect-gastric-emptying-and-gut-hormone-release-dumping#comments Gastric dumping syndrome Pectin Human Study Mon, 06 Dec 2010 18:21:29 +0000 greenmedinfo 59305 at https://greenmedinfo.com
