slvarltx 332 Posted July 7, 2015 I have had it once and it is pure misery. Sugar alcohols triggered mine. I stay away from them like the plague. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdcsail 72 Posted July 7, 2015 I have had it once with Poutine , that was a combo of a bunch of things that aren't best for us. (Frenchfries, rich gravy, cheese & bacon. I was 4 months post op. It started out sweats then vomiting in a hurry. Once it was out of my system I was fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissRobin 93 Posted July 7, 2015 I have suffered from dumping syndrome for 5+ years. It sucks. For me personally it is caused by too much sugar, caffeine in coffee (but not red bull .... go figure) too much lactose. I have done an elimination diet to find my trigger foods. After 30 days of bland, basic foods and 2 months of re introduction I have found that almost everything I eat is a negative trigger food (for my body personally) I'd rather eat amazing food and limit my sugar intake and $h!t it out in 20 minutes than eat bland cardboard food, fake dairy and seafood all the time. D.S is a constant battle for me and I am hoping with the surgery, 85% less of a stomach, less food intake the dumping syndrome will cease for me. This is partially why I am getting the surgery. Not that my BMI is super high (33-34 depending on the week) or that some website says I am severely obese (which is crap!) but because I want to HAVE to hold less food in my body. I don't want my body to say good bye food, hello toilet and stomach cramping ANYMORE ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happpy3 18 Posted July 7, 2015 No , and my doctor said its not going to happen with the sleeve But I wish if I get it to stop me from sweets if I ate it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yrkybarry 40 Posted July 7, 2015 I have experienced it. When I tried frozen yogurt and coffee. I choose to stay away from both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soapandcandlequeen 124 Posted July 8, 2015 I wish. Lol. Unfortunately everything seems to agree with my new tummy. I might also add though that I really haven't tested the waters too much. I haven't eaten anything sugary or fatty so I guess it could happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hopscotch 57 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I suffered once when I tried a skinny caramel macchiato drink from Starbuck's grocery store coffees. Immediate running to the bathroom. Ever since, no. Usually when something is too sweet or made incorrectly, I can tell right away and stop eating/drinking it. This one snuck up on me. But that was all I stick with unsweetened iced Starbuck's grocery store coffees and SF syrups now. Edited July 8, 2015 by LadyRouge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no onions 258 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Dumping is not fun. I have it as a result of gallbladder surgery many years ago. Sweats, shakes and uncontrollable and eventually undeniable urge to use the bathroom. I would get this regardless of what I ate and it would almost always happen at lunch (since I would rarely eat breakfast). Mine has been controlled by a medicine called Cholestyramine. I haven't experienced dumping with the sleeve yet and I haven't restarted my Cholestyramine either. I did have diarrhea several times after my leak test because of the barium/gastrografin cocktails. Yuck. I guess I can understand dumping as a deterrent to eating poorly, if it only resulted from one type of food. For me, that wasn't the case and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

auntjanny 289 Posted July 8, 2015 I don't know if I have had true dumping but sweet drinks have caused my to get sweaty and crampy. I think dairy may be playing a role, although I can handle yogurt, cheeses without issue! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
****505 girl 18 Posted July 11, 2015 Anything over 8 grams of sugar or 10 grams of carbs cause me to dump also fat free milk I dump. I now make home made almond milk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennna 13 Posted July 12, 2015 Too much watermellon 2 days ago. I figured it was basically Water. WRONG! I honestly thought I was either going to die or pass out. The cramps and sweats were enough to land me in the bathroom for about an hour. I had lost 2 lbs walking out of that bathroom. I'm still not fully recovered from it. Whoever says dumping with the sleeve is a myth, I dare you to try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
