Dumping? I have a question? (Xpost)
The short version:
Simply put, sugar is absorbed into the blood stream so quickly that the insulin supplied by the pancreas, can not keep up fast enough at first. This is most pronounced with simple sugars which we absorb very quickly in the small intestine. So the pancreas goes into over production which then puts too much insulin and thus too low of sugar into the blood stream. Normally, the pyloric valve would have prevented this by regulating the flow of food into the small intestine. Without this valve the food slides through without any real control. So the body responds to the inrush of sugars as if there is more to come, expecting that the pyloric valve is holding back more food to come, which as a rule there isn't due to our small pouches. The imbalance of sugar/insulin in our bodies then produce the effects we know all too well as dumping syndrome.
