title: Infant dumping syndrome: reversal of symptoms by feeding uncooked starch.
abstract: Two infants with dumping syndrome after Nissen's fundoplication were bolus-fed with regular cows' milk formula and with test meals containing either cooked or uncooked starch. Cows' milk formula and test meals made with cooked starch provoked dumping symptoms, hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. Dumping symptoms vanished and normoglycaemia was established when meals contained uncooked starch as the sole carbohydrate. The findings suggest that uncooked starch has a place in the dietary control of dumping syndrome in infants and possibly in adults.
