"Possible reference"[edit]

For some reason this was at the very top of the article. I don't know anything about this subject, so I thought I'd just move it here until someone more qualified comes along. BryanD 21:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism[edit]

I noticed that pretty much of the article is copied from the website listed at the bottom of the article. If I have made an error somehow, my apologies. --MPD01605 (T / C) 03:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The linked site explicitly states that its content is not copyrighted and may be freely redistributed. However, it would be appropriate to indicate that most of the article is copied verbatim from the site. I have made this change and removed the plagiarism tag. 128.165.87.144 13:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions[edit]

Anyone know if dumping syndrome is as prevalent in lap band surgery as Roux-en-Y? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrobinson004 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Opening sentence raises questions[edit]

"[T]he lower end of the small intestine...expands too quickly due to the presence of hyperosmolar food from the stomach." I'm not familiar with the word "hyperosmolar". Does it mean salty? Rich in solutes? Is osmotic pressure implied? Can a more familiar, common substitute be found for the word? How can the stomach affect the lower end of the small intestine? Since all food in the intestines arrives via the stomach, why even mention "from the stomach"? Why not "from the mouth" or "from the duodenum"? Where is this hyperosmolar food present; "presence" where? Is "from the stomach" meant to indicate that this phenomenon occurs when food has left the stomach and progressed to the lower end of the small intestine? Doesn't that take a long time? What difference does it make whether the expansion occurs rapidly or slowly? Is there gas involved, or only liquid? Is the rapid expansion abnormal? Is the expansion only rapid, or is it also excessive? Is the food as hyperosmolar in the jejunum as it was passing through the stomach? How does it get hyperosmolar? What role do bile, stomach acid, and other digestive juices play in the hyperosmolarity? Is the nature of the food relevant? Should food "from the stomach" be hyperosmolar or not? What about food in the stomach? Unfree (talk) 06:06, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ileum[edit]

According to the article "Jejunum", it's not the lower end of the small intestine, but the middle portion, contrary to the opening sentence. The lower end is the ileum. Unfree (talk) 06:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gastric dumping syndrome → Dumping syndrome – Is the usually used name - no reason given for initial redirect in 2005 Iztwoz (talk) 08:00, 17 September 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. —usernamekiran(talk) 15:42, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:52, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Iztwoz: Omitting "gastric" may be common among medical people where it is clear that a stomach is referred to, but to people who are not specifically thinking within the medical field, the word "dumping" has many meanings. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:52, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthony Appleyard: But doesn't the use of the word "syndrome" make it clear to be a medical subject? --Iztwoz (talk) 18:25, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Iztwoz: I have seen the word "syndrome" used outside medicine; (2) in the body, other things than the stomach can dump their contents. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:26, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthony Appleyard: That's sort of irrelevant - the page ought to be the usually used name for the topic. Gastric dumping syndrome does not even register on ngrams. And google search lists 47K for gastric dumping syndrome (with many redirects to dumping syndrome) and dumping syndrome gets 274K. --Iztwoz (talk) 20:39, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support. This is the WP:COMMONNAME and there's nothing else this would possibly be confused with. See [1] vs. [2]. Anyone who is confused by the title will find clarification in the article sitting right under it.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:24, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
