Hot Flashes After Eating

Hi All! Anyone else get severe hot flashes and/or sweating after eating? I am getting awful hot flashes after eating, like within an hour, and it seems to not matter what I eat. I am on a very strict diet; meat, veggies and fruit only so it isn't a high carb thing, I don't think. I am 1 year post surgery and it has started in about the last month.

Thanks for any insight you might have for me!

Don't know how old you are, but could you be starting peri menopause?

I actually am getting this too, no matter what I eat. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but I've noticed it's more pronounced if I don't take small bites with about a minute in between. Maybe a form of dumping? Don't know why it's just starting now though...

Could be? I’ll be 50 this year. It’s so weird that’s it’s only after I eat though.

My NUT confirmed for me my hot flashes and low energy even sometimes sleeping is part of dumping syndrome.


I'm 56. I'm what they call a "super flasher" - there are people who never get rid of the hot flashes during and after menopause. I flashed before surgery and after. Often when I eat. To the point where I break out in the sweats. I'm almost 1.5 years out (nearing my goal, but working on building muscle and lowering my body fat numbers.) Talk with your PCP about doing some bloodwork to determine how far you may be into perimenopause.
