msreaina 133 Posted January 7, 2015 I am nearly two years post op and still having dumping issues when I eat some foods. Is anyone else having these same problems? When will it go away or will it always be a problem after gastric sleeve surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted January 7, 2015 I am sorry for you suffering! Have you noticed if it is always the same foods? Do you think you may have developed an allergy to them? Have you stayed away from them for awhile, then gone back to see if they do it to you again? Last question...have you asked your doctor about it? I am still new to all this, having my surgery in December, so forgive me, but I am learning from you! Good luck and I hope you feel better VERY soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msreaina 133 Posted January 7, 2015 Yea it's usually anything sweet. It could just be that my stomach can't handle sweets anymore. I am not sure. I have not been to the doctor in about 5 months so I have not asked my doctor about it. I think it is one of those things that is a curse and a blessing at the same time. I am hesitant when it comes to eating or drinking anything with sugar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted January 7, 2015 It seems other people have had this issue, as well. How are you with artificial sweeteners? I personally can't stand them, but then I have never had much of a sweet-tooth. I have used Splenda in baking, but I find it dries the end result out too much AND too soon. The other types of sweeteners I just can't stand the taste of, especially stevia and the sweet-n-low stuff. Does an antacid help? Gosh, I wish I could help you. Keep us informed of how you resolve this, ok? Thanks.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msreaina 133 Posted January 7, 2015 @ I can have artificial sweetners just no real or pure sugars candy or sodas. So Splenda is my best friend right I use it on coffee tea cakes pies but sometimes I just want the real thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted January 7, 2015 Oh, and how!!!!! So is it just a taste that does it to you, or a full serving? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msreaina 133 Posted January 7, 2015 Even the smallest amount of sugar and my stomach goes nuts. I have not tried any meds but wouldn't mind if I just knew what to take Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted January 7, 2015 I've heard a lot of people take Prilosec for acid, but I'm not sure about how it might work for sugar in particular. And since I have yet to take it, I can't tell you from my personal experience. I wouldn't know if you take it before or after you eat the sugar. Hopefully someone will respond to this run with some suggestions for you. If you don't mind, please let me know what you find out? Good luck, again....

msreaina 133 Posted January 7, 2015 No problem I wilt you know and I will try the prilosec and see what it does. Hoping for some kind of solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pac-woman 325 Posted January 8, 2015 I haven't had the surgery yet ( 4 more days) but I did read up on it. http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=134&ContentID=107 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted January 8, 2015 I dump when I eat anything really rich like whole cream Soups, really high quality ice cream, frosting, fudge... Either I vomit it right back up or I have instant poop Soup. I'm glad there's no remedy or cure except avoidance. Keeps me on task. Nineteen months out, here.

msreaina 133 Posted January 8, 2015 @@LipstickLady you are probably right it is a good thing there is no remedy for dumping syndrome. Like I said it's a blessing and a curse but it a curse that keeps us on track and helps us avoid weight gain after surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
