Sweet Mother of God. I do believe I am having a full fledged dumping episode. I have cold sweats, awful stomach cramps, and I am very uncomfortable. How long does it last?? I haven't been able to use the bathroom or throw up. Do papaya enzymes work? I'm desperate. 😫

sounds like it. A lot of people seem to think every time they throw up that is "dumping", but it's not - what you described sounds like the real thing. I've never dumped, but I think it can go on for quite awhile. I don't think papaya enzymes would work for dumping - I think people use them when there's a piece of meat or something stuck. You may just have to wait it out. It WILL stop.

I had dumping a few times. Mine was due to eating too much sugar, and eating one too many bites of food. I also got the sweats, cramps, and had to lie down because I felt dizzy/lightheaded. Try drinking some peppermint tea, or eating an Altoids. It worked for me. I also laid on my left side in the fetal position.

I'm so sorry you got sick. I hope it passed fast. That sounds just awful.

Horrible admission...

I clicked on this post because I thought it said "dumpling" and I was like....someone has a healthy dumpling recipe? Do tell! Yep...food addict till the end. Oye.

Please feel better.

Hope you are doing better today? I ended up in the ER with dumping once. Thankfully I haven't had such a severe attack since. Sadly, it can last a long time. Mine was about 12 hours of pain. If you can find what triggered it, avoid that food for a while and try it again in a couple months. My ER visit was New Years Eve/Day and now I can have the food that made me sick. Other's I had that day just bring back the memory and I can't even stomach them though.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
