Dumping Syndrome

[newlady1 67]

OMG I'm 4 months out since my surgery and within the last 2 weeks I've experienced this twice. NOT a pleasant experience. I'm not sure what I ate the first time, but this time I made homemade blackeye peas, high in Protein. My body said NOT TODAY!! I was doubled over, in pain, moaning and groaning. I'm going back on Soups for a couple of days. I know others have experienced this, how did you deal with it? Just ride it out and not eat what caused this reaction again?

usually dumping is caused by too much sugar hitting the small intestine. Was there sugar in your pea recipe?

No. But I just remembered a couple of days ago I ate a piece of left over halloween candy. A mini 100 grand bar. That must be it.

This was probably not dumping, but simply a reaction to the texture and maybe the volume. Wait a week and try it again, but only 1 tablespoon at a time with at least 5 minutes between bites.
