Plutonium 11 Posted March 11, 2021 Sweet Mother of God. I do believe I am having a full fledged dumping episode. I have cold sweats, awful stomach cramps, and I am very uncomfortable. How long does it last?? I haven't been able to use the bathroom or throw up. Do papaya enzymes work? I'm desperate. 😫 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm desperate. 😫 sounds like it. A lot of people seem to think every time they throw up that is "dumping", but it's not - what you described sounds like the real thing. I've never dumped, but I think it can go on for quite awhile. I don't think papaya enzymes would work for dumping - I think people use them when there's a piece of meat or something stuck. You may just have to wait it out. It WILL stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HealthyLifeStyle 351 Posted March 11, 2021 I had dumping a few times. Mine was due to eating too much sugar, and eating one too many bites of food. I also got the sweats, cramps, and had to lie down because I felt dizzy/lightheaded. Try drinking some peppermint tea, or eating an Altoids. It worked for me. I also laid on my left side in the fetal position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please feel better. 1 3 MissSmartyPants, Beth1022, catwoman7 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapK 80 Posted March 11, 2021 Hope you are doing better today? I ended up in the ER with dumping once. Thankfully I haven't had such a severe attack since. Sadly, it can last a long time. Mine was about 12 hours of pain. If you can find what triggered it, avoid that food for a while and try it again in a couple months. My ER visit was New Years Eve/Day and now I can have the food that made me sick. Other's I had that day just bring back the memory and I can't even stomach them though.
