Bile reflux/ dumping: Questran helps w/ bile salts & dumping. Octreotide helps dumping & decrease bile salts. Bentyl is used in dumping. Eat "grazing diet" Avoid fats, high acid, spicy food, alcohol smoking caffeine. Check for Zolligner-Ellison Syndrome/ carcinoid. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/dumping-syndrome https://www.practicalgastro.com/article/148761/Dumping f/u/w/ MD
