Summary

This study looks at why dumping syndrome (a condition causing dangerous low blood sugar after meals) happens in babies born with esophageal atresia, a birth defect where the esophagus doesn't connect to the stomach. Researchers will monitor 15 infants' blood sugar and heart rate continuously and perform a stomach-emptying scan at 3 months old. The goal is to understand the causes so doctors can develop better treatments and prevent harm.
