**Early Post-cibal syndrome (EPS) Core Concept**
Early Post-cibal syndrome, also known as dumping syndrome, is a condition that occurs after eating, characterized by rapid gastric emptying and subsequent symptoms such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and flushing.
**Why the Correct Answer is Right**
EPS is often seen in patients who have undergone gastric surgery, particularly gastrectomy. The rapid emptying of food from the stomach into the small intestine leads to an excessive release of glucose, which in turn causes an osmotic shift of water into the gut, resulting in diarrhea. The symptoms of EPS are thought to be mediated by the release of various gastrointestinal hormones, including gastrin, secretin, and cholecystokinin.
