How would removal of 95 percent of the stomach to treat severe ulcers or cancer affect the digestion and absorption of food?
The stomach stores food and released small amounts regularly into the intestines for digestion. If the stomach was removed the patient must eat small amounts of food regularly. If they ate a normal sized meal it passes into the intestine and due to osmosis, a great deal of water moves into the intestines - 'dumping syndrome' which can cause nausea, diarrhoea, bloating, cramps, fatigue and dizziness. It would also affect blood sugar and could cause hypoglycaemia. So removal of the stomach makes digestion and absorption much more difficult.The stomach lining cells also produce Intrinsic factor which is needed for the absorption of vitamin K. Therefore the patient may become deficient in vitamin K.The job of the stomach is to break down proteins, mix and begin digestion. It is not involved in the absorption of food. If a person has a small stomach, they will loose weight but the stomach can stretch and enlarge.
