How long does dumping syndrome last?

[Faithluvhope84 22]

I've been struggling with it all night and still today.

I've never has it, but I would guess until whatever you ate is out of your system.

I did not have this either. But from what I understand it could be a day or so. Do you know what you ate to cause it?

Mine came & went within an hour. However I have gotten them 2-3 times a day.

I hope it passes quickly.

I get it everytime sugar is present in my food... Its horrible. So Im vigilant of hidden sugars.

My body is so super sensitive to sugar that this sometimes happens to me when eating certain fruits. I am almost a year post-op. Sometimes it can take an hour sometimes a day to feel better. But it can also spark a chain of events if you haven't really experienced it. When I experience "dumping syndrome" I just flat out don't feel good I get hot I get palpitations I feel a little weird in the head...lol. I never have the diarrhea thing. I go lay down and take a cool cloth. It's happened maybe 3 times in the past year. But each time with a fruit because when it comes to the diet I am pretty hard core. It happened with plain sweet potato and apples. Each time it triggered my anxiety which makes sense with the symptoms. I don't eat sugar, breads, Pasta, etc. But I am actually thankful that my body reacts this way to tell me "hey girlfriend it might be fruit but it still contains sugar so just be mindful." I named my pouch Bob...yep...and he talks to me not so much in words but actions...lol...jk. It will be ok and if in doubt pick up that phone and call your doctor. Best wishes!????

Mine has lasted 3 days so far. This is the first time I had this and I don't know what to do. Been taking Imodium and nothing has touched it. Drinking fluids and eating bland.

Out of curiosity how far out are you? Could you be lactose intolerant or have an allergy or sensitivity to something you have been eating or drinking if you think of your daily foods?

[Faithluvhope84 22]

Well since it started I've been eating bananas, drinking Water, toast, my usual Protein Bars. Haven't had any milk or anything In that nature. It started bc I had escargot with butter and garlic. Never doing that again.

Are you keeping a food diary. I write down everything I eat along with any problems in my fitness pal. It really helps. Then you can go back and look. I haven't had dumping.

I'm 4 weeks out and since yesterday right after I eat I get pain and vomit mucus, it's that dumping?

That sounds like you may be eating too fast.you could try spacing your bites 2 minutes apart or using the Eat Slower app

I called the doc becouse I couldn't even sip Water, he sent em to ER, after ctscan, X-rays, blood work, all is good, they think it's a very bad nausea and prescribe zofran. They give me zofran and I drink 1lt contrast liquid in 20 min without problem. Back on liquids for 24 hrs and then try soft again. I'm 4 weeks out.

Turns out it was a intestinal bacterial infection! I'm on antibiotics and feeling better. Yes I have a food journal that I do on my phone. helps to know.

[angelface811 100]

Oh my goodness...how did they find out? Or do I not want to know? The escargot? I hope you feel better soon...????
