Dumping on empty stomach

I’m 7 weeks out and have the weirdest thing happening. Just about every morning I have the symptoms of dumping and this happens on an empty stomach. Vomiting, diarrhea, chills and lightheaded. How can this happen on an empty stomach? Anyone else experienced this?

  • Funny. Don’t think so since I’m pushing the big 60.

  • Come to find out, mine was caused by taking my meds and vitamins on an empty stomach. I eat breakfast first then the meds. It’s cured my issue, so maybe it can help you too.

    Yes, It helped me as well. Also I noticed that if I eat before bedtime, I have this problem. I stopped eating after dinner now.

it wouldn't be dumping - that's when too much sugar or fat passes quickly into your small intestine. I'm not sure what that is - I'd call your clinic and let them know.

I am almost 6 months post op, and this has just started happening to me. I see the doc for my follow up soon, and this is def a question I have for them.

Could this be hypoglycemia? (Low blood sugar)
