Dumping How it feels like?

[Justoperated 141]

Yesterday I forgot to bring my lunch to work, thought I would skip it, but felt too hungry and ate a muffin for the first time after surgery, after 1-2 hours started to feel dizzy and shaky.

Wonder if it is dumping, I did not have any symptoms before, though this is the first time I ate something that full of sugar.

@@Justoperated - I have read that those are some of the symptoms besides the obvious. I have never had it so I cant really say for sure.

Dumping feelings like your stomach is upset and that you have to use the restroom NOW. When you get to sit down to release the pain, everything comes out fast REALY fast. Sometimes it is bright yellow in color as the food moves through your body so fast. You learn to recognize the signs and pain of the symptoms so that you can prevent an accident.

@@Justoperated, I have had mild cases of the dumping syndrome. Having the runs (loose stool) is a very common symptoms.

However, I've only experienced the jitters & hot flashes. It last for few minutes, but then it goes away. I usually feel it when I eat something that's too sweet.

I dumped once, it was because I ate too fast. First the sweating started, then my chest was hurting because the lump of Peanut Butter I just was just sitting there. Then I threw up on myself without warning. About an hour later the diarrhea started.

Not only have I not made that mistake again, I also won't touch Peanut Butter anymore lol

High fat and hug sugar foods can cause dumping. The one time I experienced it, it was from fried chicken (I was craving it) that was fresh out of the fryer so all the grease was still on it. I got dizzy, hot, light headed, nauseous, and I thought ideas going to pass out. All of that lasted for about an hour. It was the worst experience ever!!!
