dumping Dumping - does it ever go away?

[ctsleeve 20]

I experienced dumping with my sleeve at about 1.5 weeks out. I added a tbsp of Peanut Butter to my Protein shake. Thought i was dying, LOL! i explained what happened to my NUT and she said it was dumping and it was very unusual for a sleever to get that. In fact she said I was the only one she had ever heard of, but the symptoms were consistent. I have read several other people on this forum have experienced the same thing. The good news is that YES it goes away. As soon as your system is 'used' to food again it will go away. In fact, I have a few (I allow myself 6) M & Ms a day to get my chocolate fix and have suffered no ill effects! Now, I did try ice cream on vacation a few weeks ago, didn't get the full on dumping, but did have to immediately throw up!

Thanks for the encouraging news! Glad to hear things may normalize after my body adjusts to the new normal.

Twice now I've had episodes of "eating" (drinking' date=' really - still on liquids) something and within 20 minutes having nausea and sweats, followed by diarrhea.

Both times this happened after I ate something from a restaurant.

I've had almost exclusively homemade Soups and I know what's in them, but once I got some butternut squash crab Soup from Whole Foods, and today I had a chicken tortilla Soup at Chili's.

In both cases, the Soups were blended and thinned, but must have had cream or too much fat.

Is this dumping? And will it always happen when I eat something too creamy/fatty/sweet? Does it ever go away?

Thanks for any insight![/quote']

I have very similar problems at 9 months out. I am lactose intolerant but I think the real problem is that I now only have 2 normal flora left in my intestines. It came on over time which leads me to think the part of the stomach removed made the flora needed to deal with all of the food. I a m now under dr supervision taking large doses of Probiotics, Fiber immodium etc. Because the colon got so inflamed without the flora you have to give it back that flora and stop up the runs by forcing it to stop up with Fiber and deal with the food. I had been on the brat diet for 2 weeks. Good luck. I am hoping it all gets better for all of us soon.
