I just had an episode at work... My bowels just emptied very liquidy with very little warning. I had to come home to shower and change. Is this dumping? Other than slightly queasy no other symptoms. I ate a cookie about 2 hours before. One of those Samoans. And then I had a sucker; small round grape one. Please help!! Gotta know what to do.

Follow up: saw my surgeon today for 6 month follow-up. He said more than likely what happened to me WAS dumping. (Glad to hear that!). Resolution? (Duh) don't eat sugar! He was so happy about my good lab results and weight loss. Overall, a very good report! Thank you all for your help. And, DL, for the info on early and late dumping. No mas sugar for me. None. No longer even tempted.

Now that makes a lot of sense. OJ or AJ to get the sugar up' date=' Peanut Butter toast to level it out. And even better yet, eat the toast before you dump. I was hoping you'd respond to my post!

I've dumped on grapes twice. "Wow those are good" and a couple of hours later bam.

Thanks so much SoccerMomma![/quote']

honestly believe it was grapes that had triggered my newest wave of diarrhea Although my surgeon did not believe my diarrhea was the effect of dumping. After reading articles the great and knowledgable DL sent me I truly believe it was the sugar in fruit that was making me sick. One of those articles mentioned the sugar called sorbitol and the effects it can have on RNY patients. I have stayed away from most fruit the last month and with the help of some medication I am not having the diarrhea issues I had been having.

Trust me it has been hard at times because those grapes were SOOOO good!

I haven't tested it yet but I suspect that I would be fine with four or five grapes. Anything over that seems to be asking for trouble.

Music, I don't know about "great and wise" but it's great to hear that you got the tract back on track!! Lol!

Fruits don't make me dump. Only items with processed sugars. So it probably depends on the person.
