Dumping Syndrome

[Readyforchange2012 0]

I recently was diagnosed with dumping syndrome and am NOT diabetic but having troubles with my sugars tanking to 50's and sometimes as low as down into the 30's. We are doing more tests to find out if anything else is going on. Does anyone have suggestions on how to manage with dumping syndrome. I had the sleeve done in Jan of 2013.

It usually happens to me when I eat something that's high in fat and sugar. These are not things I should be eating anyway. If I eat right, I don't have these problems.

Are you eating a high Protein, low carb diet?

I've had Dumping about 6 times since my December 2 surgery. Lord only knows why. That will drain and dehydrate you

Did you ever find out how to treat dumping syndrome? I'm very interested because I haven't been able to work for over a week now because I never know when it's going to happen. I get really hot and start sweating and shaking then I run to the bathroom. Imodium doesn't even help. I would like to know if this is what you were having and how you control it.

I have been diagnosed with dumping syndrome after having my gastric sleeve the doctors said it's not normal for a sleeve. I also have been diagnosed with GERD.

It sucks so bad. Avoid sugar and fat combos. Avoid sweets. Avoid eating too much at one time. Dairy does it to me every time.

Sorry you're experiencing this. For me it's an almost daily struggle.

Dumping is the worst! I also get it when I eat too quickly or eat something that has too much sugar or oil. Now I try to eat slowly and taste foods and wait to see how it goes down. After several months, I don't like eating out because of this.

Not sure if this is what I'm experiencing. I have gained 20lbs I find all I could eat was chocolate I recently are 2 large candy bars I won't. I usually Luke everything up case it hurts. How I feel now is I can't eat anything I tried to eat cream of wheat and instantly I go in to puke it up. Great!! I guess is this how I lose that 20 lbs is this that dumping. Cause this hurts. Not fun will this go away?

Ummmm. I'm sorry you're feeling this way but if all you can eat is chocolate it's doubtful you have dumping!!! Dumping is usually due to fat and sugar combinations. It doesn't cause pain.

You seem to be eating a lot of carbs. Cream of wheat is all carb. If you're gaining weight I'd look to that. Stay away from chocolate for sure. Hope you figure it out and feel better soon.
