Is the Dumping Syndrome?

[Molly3 495]

I am not sure if that would be considered dumping. There is something else that we get when we eat something with fat and sugar. I can't think of what it's called, but basically, too much sugar too fast because things move out of our stomachs quickly due to the size.

Is it...Rapid gastric emptying?

It's Reactive Hypo or Hyper Gylcemia

I had a very small brownie and a big chocolate chip cookie yesterday over a 3 hour period. Today I suffered from cramping in my lower stomach....that's what I figure caused it. Won't be doing that again anytime soon.

Hope you are feeling better. It's all a learning process.

Was that your 1st time with reg. sugar?

I limit sugar because I don't like it. But I've had limited sugar postop.

Amanda!

Feel better....

Amanda Rae- I hope you're feeling better!? I just came back from my support group & not one person has had dumping!? I found that a little odd...I think it's way more common.

I'm feeling better. Ended up with a headache and i finally gave in and took an Advil. All better now. Lesson learned. Apparently strawberry shortcake is a no go!

Glad to hear you're better. Hathery posted a story of her dumping episode a few weeks ago (?) that sounds similar to yours. I think it's more common for bypass patients but it happens to some of us as well.

My whole digestive zone started cramping. I broke in both goosebumps and sweat simultaneously.

There was a powerful and unstoppable evacuation of yuck which had me in the fetal position while sitting on the toilet.

It lasted 15 minutes.

Sounds like it to me! I've had it happen to me twice...because, ya know, I can never learn the first time.

Here's what mayo says about it: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dumping-syndrome/DS00715/DSECTION=symptoms

Symptoms of dumping syndrome are most common during a meal or within 15 to 30 minutes following a meal. They include:

Gastrointestinal

• Nausea
  
• Vomiting
  
• Abdominal cramps
  
• Diarrhea
  
• Feeling of fullness
  

Cardiovascular

• Flushing
  
• Dizziness, lightheadedness
  
• Heart palpitations, rapid heart rate
  

Signs and symptoms also can develop later, usually one to three hours after eating. This is due to the dumping of large amount of sugars into the small intestine (hyperglycemia). In response, the body releases large amounts of insulin to absorb the sugars, leading to low levels of sugar in the body (hypoglycemia). Symptoms of late dumping can include:

• Sweating
  
• Hunger
  
• Fatigue
  
• Dizziness, lightheadedness
  
• Confusion
  
• Heart palpitations, rapid heart rate
  
• Fainting
  

A study of more than 1,100 people who had their stomachs surgically removed found that about two-thirds experienced early symptoms and about a third experienced late symptoms of dumping syndrome. Some people experience both early and late signs and symptoms.

No matter when problems develop, however, they may be worse following a high-sugar meal, especially one that's rich in table sugar (sucrose) or fruit sugar (fructose).

The easiest way to get rid of it is to eat some Protein quickly. It usually evens me back out pretty quickly.
