On post-op day one, Mr. McKinley was advanced to the Stage 1 Bariatric Surgery Diet. This consists of sugar-free clear liquids, broth, and sugar-free Jell-O. Why are sugar-free foods used?
What will be an ideal response?
• Sugar-free foods are used to prevent dumping syndrome.
• Dumping syndrome is characterized by nausea, vomiting, bloating, and diarrhea and is caused by hyperosmolar foods, which are usually simple carbohydrates.
• The hyperosmolar foods cause water to be pulled into the intestine. This occurs because part of the intestine is bypassed and the pyloric sphincter is removed in the roux-en-Y procedure, which gives less surface area and transit time for absorption.
• In order to prevent dumping syndrome, the AND Nutrition Care Manual recommends avoiding simple carbohydrates such as fruit juices or other foods high in sugar.
