Gastric emptying and bile acid concentration in the duodenum after bypass operation of the small intestine because of obesity.
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.
