What gives you dumping syndrome?

My experience, eating too fast,or too much, not chewing up really good.

Fake sugars for me. Real sugar does not affect me.

Too much sugar DUMPS into your intestines fast; body responds by putting out more insulin which then lowers the blood glucose too fast and too much. Fix it fast with, you guessed it, more sugar. That gives quick relef from symptomw which can feel quite awful. Exercising too much soon after eating can also cause this. You'll learn how to control this. It does not feel good!!

Sugars, high fatty foods, fried foods.

I have never had it!

I always get it when I'm careless.

Artificial sugars of any kind does it to me... It sucks. Real sugar doesn't affect me

What does dumping feel like?

Straight from the Mayo Clinic web site:

Dumping syndrome is a group of symptoms that are most likely to develop if you've had surgery to remove all or part of your stomach, or if your stomach has been surgically bypassed to help lose weight. Also called rapid gastric emptying, dumping syndrome occurs when the undigested contents of your stomach move too rapidly into your small bowel. Common symptoms include abdominal cramps, nausea and diarrhea.

Most people with dumping syndrome experience symptoms soon after eating. In others, symptoms may occur one to three hours after eating. Some people experience both early and late symptoms.

Hello everyone,

Is the pain more in your stomach or in the chest. I recently had open heart surgery (double bypass), and I was wondering if maybe it was that type of chest pain which nwas really bad. I had a heart attack Oct.1,2014. I had my surgery 2 days before I was to have my gastric bypass.

Now this is just about me. There is no chest pain. Do you remember any time when you had diarrhea really bad? If you do, remember you had this stomach pain as the waste is traveling through your intestines. I immediately know I'm going to shit water. I can't even fart without something coming out. Sorry about the graphic detail but it seems some people want to know. Again this is how my dumping is and doesn't represent everyone's experience.

I don't think I have ever had it. I don't feel like my bypass was a success. I only lost 48 pounds.

@@teachrissy when was your surgery? No one would complain about losing 48 pounds.

I am two and a half years out. I am sad by the amount of weight loss. This tool has made a little difference in my life. I feel like I wasn't given enough guidance from my doctor and that I was just a number. Sad but true...

@@teachrissy Well you came to a pretty good place for help. If you can, use the web site instead of the app at first to search through all the subjects, it's easier. You'll find places that are talking about all your concerns and people that are going through your experiences with helpful suggestions. I wish you the best and please stay in touch.
