  1. In QOLRAD a score of 1 represents the lowest possible quality of life and 7 the highest. In GSRS 1 corresponds to absence of symptoms and 7 very intense symptoms. In the DSRS severity score each dumping symptom during the past week is graded from “no trouble at all” [1] to “very severe problems” [7]. In the DSRS frequency score the frequency of the symptoms during the last 2 weeks is graded from “no trouble at all” [1] to “several times a day” [6]. The mean of all severity items is the severity score and the mean of all frequency items is the frequency score. Each severity item is multiplied by the respective frequency item to a DSRS total score (maximum score 42)
