Abstract:
We report four patients suffering from dumping syndrome treated effectively with Keishito and its additional prescription. Case1was a 57-year old male who received subtotal gastrectomy 30 years ago. After the operation he felt shaking sensations and eyes flickering after meals for10minutes to 4 hours. These symptoms tended to occur along with hunger. After taking Keishito, these symptoms improved. Case 2 was a 63-year old male who received subtotal gastrectomy 7 years ago. In recent years, he has had noticeable sweat and fatigability 20-30 minutes after meals. After taking Keishito, these dumping syndrome symptoms disappear. Case 3 was a 71-year old female who received subtotal gastrectomy 9 years ago. Thereafter, cold sweats and dizziness came to appear regardless of what she ate. After taking keishikashakuyakuto or shokenchuto the aforementioned symptoms disappeared. Case 4 was a 72-year old female who received subtotal gastrectomy 2 years ago. Sweats and hot flushes began to occur after meals for 30 minutes to 3 hours, from last July. These symptoms were improved simply by licking candy. After taking Keishito, these symptoms also disappeared.
