Every time I go through these episodes they are different, and I tend to not always have the same ones, but generally I have: nausea, sweats, chills, headaches, a feeling of heaviness in my chest and throat, pain sometimes below my belly button (but that only happened once), fatigue, a feeling of something stuck from my throat to my chest area, and sometimes heaving. I also then choke, gag, and can't talk for about 2 minutes, then all I have to do is open my mouth and everything comes up naturally. I've tried taking a small sip of Water and holding my breath to get it down. I also do small tiny bites, and even putting my spoon down for 5 minutes in between bites. The food comes up very finally chewed. Most times it happens after bites 1-4, and sometimes a 1/2 hr after my meal. This even happens w/ softs like Jello and sorbet. I've even sat in front of a nutritionist friend of mine and she watched me eat, and said I was doing everything right. I know that most of these symptoms sound like PB'ing but its a little different, and its hard to explain to ppl who haven't seen me do it. What do you guys think???

Thanks for the posts, I know that it's impossible to having dumping syndrome, but I have all of the symptoms, and I've seen several people, all who say the same thing, but they don't know why, and they say its not dumping, just similar. I am lactose intolerant but it's on foods like turkey, bananas, salads, and its not everytime I eat them. As for the hot and cold, I am chewing them into tiny pieces and stopping between bites, as well as tons of time between liquids and drinking. Its not a big deal, just a little scary going through it alone. Thanks
