title: Gastric emptying and bile acid concentration in the duodenum after bypass operation of the small intestine because of obesity.
abstract: Gastric emptying was measured concomitantly with bile acid concentration in the duodenum in 9 patients operated upon with jejuno-ileal bypass. Two of them were cholecystectomized. The results of gastric emptying were compared with those of 7 healthy volunteers. The emptying rate was within normal limits, except for one cholecystectomized shunt-operated patient who had extremely low bile acid concentration in the duodenum.
