Ok, I'm sorry if anyone gets grossed out by this, but I need to know if anyone else has gone thru this. This morning after getting up for work, I went in the bathroom and was having a BM that turned into diarrhea, that then turned into sweating,shaking and feeling really sick

to my stomach. I then began to vomit, but it was just dry heaves and spit coming out it was about 10mins of this. It had been at least 12 hours since I had eaten anything, and what I had for dinner was the same thing I had the night before with no problems. Just wondering if any one else experienced this, I was really upset and scared that something was wrong.

You're most welcome! I'm thinking that theoretically anyone could experience low blood sugar under the right circumstances but it's a good question to ask your doctor!

After surgery I have been wondering will treating a low blood sugar cause me to dump and then the process of yuck start all over.

I've only experienced dumping about three times in almost a year out. In all three cases, it was late dumping and in two of the three I checked my sugars - 56 on one and 39 on the other. I ate an orange for the first one and an orange and two small squares of year old chocolate for the second one. Symptoms disappeared very quickly. Keep in mind that late dumping is strongly linked with hypoglycemia and the symptoms I'm speaking of are general weakness and shakiness all over. I have never had early dumping and have never vomited.

So, did the treatment for my "late" dumping cause "early" dumping? No. There are still some questions to be answered but dumping in general is thought to be the result of very rapid changes in blood sugar. Based on that definition, if you're starting with very low blood sugar in the first place, bringing it up with the addition of moderate amounts of sugar would not likely result in dumping.

I hope you'll let us know what your doctor thinks - great opportunity for us all to learn something!!

I spoke with my doctor today, he seems to think that it is late dumping, he says that every one handles this differntly. I seem to be having issues with any type of meat protiens, chicken, ground beef, ground turkey. He said at this point he would be more concerned if I was not keeping any liquids down. I feel better that I have talked to him.

Thanks everyone

It's amazing how just having your doctor put a label on what you're experiencing helps make you feel so much better! Good to know too that dumping can sometimes occur much longer after eating than a few hours. Thank you for the update!!
