Dumping!

[ravelling]

14 months post op, nearly and I thought I had this dumping business sorted!

Unfortunately, I've had two incidences of it in the last 24 hours. The first was entirely my fault. I tried to add some cereal to my diet and added some museli to my yoghurt. Didn't cope very well with the dried fruit and started dumping. I knew I didn't have a good past history with dried fruit, but wondered if things might have changed over time. They haven't. There's another lesson for me.

Now it's happening again with a latte and I drink one of these every day. Wonder what's happening. Sure is an interesting life!

Oh dear doesn't sound pleasant I hope you feel better shortly and can work out whats causing the sudden change for this to happen. I must admit that that is the one thing that is making me nervous the learning curve of foods to avoid to prevent that happening. Positive vibes being sent your way in the hope it helps.

Gosh this surprised me when I read you were well over a year post bypass and still having dumping. Is this normal for a lot of people? I must admit it's one side effect that made me go with bypass over band as I feel it will be a further aid to help me over 'tough times'.

I hope you manage to settle your symptoms without too much more nasty side effects.

I'm nearly 3 years post op and still dump. I find that after one dumping session my tolerance seems to be lower, like my body has gone into panic mode.

Gastric dumping syndrome, or rapid gastric emptying is a condition where ingested foods bypass the stomach too rapidly and enter the small intestine largely undigested. It happens when the upper end of the small intestine, the duodenum, expands too quickly due to the presence of hyperosmolar (substances with increased osmolarity) food from the stomach. "Early" dumping begins concurrently or immediately succeeding a meal. Symptoms of early dumping include nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, dizziness and fatigue. "Late" dumping happens 1 to 3 hours after eating. Symptoms of late dumping include weakness, sweating, and dizziness. Many people have both types. The syndrome is most often associated with gastric surgery.

Hi Gill

Can I ask with the Latte - is it a Skinny Latte with Skimmed Milk?. I can only take the Skinny or I feel sick all day.
Maybe some things never change over time.

I wondered about that, Shel. 364 days out of 365 I have no problems with milk, but I just seem a bit over sensitive today.

Hi Suzanne

I only drink skinny lattes from habit, but fat doesn't normally bother me at all.
I like a latte as coffee is one of my last remaining vices (!) and it's good source of protein each day - my excuse and I'm sticking to it

Just goes to show, Wendy, doesn't it, that things can still bite us in the bum when we're not looking!

 

[lotsabeefy]

Yes it does, and I quiet glad it does every so often it helps keep me on the straight and narrow
