Restoring digestive harmony: A scientific prespective on integrative homeopathic and holistic management of post bariatric dumping syndrome

Abstract

Dumping syndrome (DS) is a well-documented post-surgical complication of upper gastrointestinal surgeries, particularly gastric and bariatric procedures. It is characterized by rapid gastric emptying, leading to early and late dumping symptoms, including gastrointestinal distress, vasomotor instability, and hypoglycaemia. Prevalence rates for dumping syndrome after obesity surgery vary between 20 and 40%. Standard treatments focus on dietary adjustments and pharmacological interventions such as somatostatin analogs, α-glucosidase inhibitors, and GLP1 receptor agonists. However, complementary therapies, including Homoeopathy, have been explored as adjunctive strategies. This paper reviews the pathophysiology, clinical features, and standard management of DS while evaluating the role of Homoeopathic remedies in symptom modulation.
