That is not dumping syndrome. Dumping syndrome is when your food is sent to your small intestine without having been properly digested. You will feel miserable and there isn't really anything you can do but to let it pass.

mzrich sounds like you're still just expelling some of the excess gas post-surgery. Not dumping syndrome.

I've had dumping a couple of times when i've eaten food with a higher fat content (like the first time I had salmon). Got shaky and sweaty then had diarrhoea within about 20 minutes of eating. Unpleasant but passed quickly enough.

It's your body telling you that you had something to high in far. Which can be a good thing because you won't try it again. Usually passes in 20-30 minutes. I've only experienced once and believe me I hope it never happens again.

I've eaten salmon again since then without difficulty. The dumping syndrome I found to be really no worse than when I've had diarrhoea due to eating something slightly dodgy.

I have it with sugars (yogurts that are too sweet, certain Popsicles ect) or certain foods, still hit and miss with me. It's horrible, heart races, get sweaty and shaky then the cramps set in at that point it's a race to the restroom and take a book or something. It's horrible until it passes. I've had days where if it hit me I'm down for the count all day
