PECTIN IN THE DUMPING SYNDROME: REDUCTION OF SYMPTOMS AND PLASMA VOLUME CHANGES

LEEDS, A·1981·The Lancet

Abstract

Twelve patients with the dumping syndrome took on one occasion oral hypertonic glucose and on another a similar glucose drink to which pectin was added. After glucose alone eleven patients had symptoms; after glucose with pectin, six had no symptoms and in five symptoms were reduced. Plasma volume changes were significantly less after glucose with pectin, and the hypoglycaemia at 120 min after glucose alone did not occur after glucose with pectin in patients in whom symptoms were abolished. Gastric emptying was prolonged, and serum insulin levels were lower, after glucose with pectin. In those patients to whom gastric emptying rate reverted to near normal with pectin, symptoms were abolished, but symptoms were only reduced in number when gastric emptying, although slowed, remained rapid. The findings suggest that pectin and similar substances may be useful in the day-to-day management of patients with dumping symptoms.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A number of short-term studies involving the ingestion of up to 15 g of guar gum or pectin with each meal have demonstrated the efficacy of these dietary supplements in slowing gastric emptying, reducing GI hormone release, improving hyperglycemia and controlling dumping symptoms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
