Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for dumping syndrome. Screening is done after exposure to the risk factors for dumping syndrome. The Sigstad score is a table of symptoms used to differentiate dumpers from non-dumpers (healthy).

- The Sigstad score system is used to determine dumpers versus non-dumpers.[1]

| Shock | +5 |
| Fainting, syncope, unconsciousness | +4 |
| Desire to lie or sit down | +4 |
| Breathlessness, dyspnoea | +3 |
| Weakness, exhaustion | +3 |
| Sleepiness, drowsiness, apathy, falling asleep | +3 |
| Palpitation | +3 |
| Restlessness | +2 |
| Dizziness | +2 |
| Headaches | +1 |
| Feeling of warmth, sweating, pallor, clammy skin | +1 |
| Nausea | +1 |
| Abdominal fullness, meteorism | +1 |
| Borborygmus | +1 |
| Eructation | −1 |
| Vomiting | |
- To determine the severity the Visick classification is used.
- The Arts' questionnaire helps distinguish early dumping syndrome from late dumping syndrome .
