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.
