Dumping Syndrome Symptoms

There are two kinds of patient dumping: early and late. Both occur after a meal, especially after eating foods high in fat, refined carbohydrates or sugar (table sugar or natural sugar like that found in fruit)…

• Early Dumping Syndrome occurs within 30 minutes of eating a meal. In addition to eating foods high in fat, carbohydrates or sugar, it can also be brought on by eating foods that are too cold or too hot or by drinking liquids during your meal. Earlysymptoms include…
  • Bloating
  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness
  • Heart palpitations
  • Nausea
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Sweating
  • Vomiting

• Late Dumping Syndrome is a form of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). When you ingest too much sugar, your now smaller stomach does not digest it properly so your intestines absorb and deposit too much of it into your blood stream. Your body compensates by releasing more insulin which makes your blood sugar drop. Late symptoms include…
  • Anxiety
  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness
  • Fainting
  • Fatigue
  • Heart palpitations
  • Mental changes such as problems concentrating or feeling confused
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Strong feelings of hunger (because your body craves more sugar to balance the increase of insulin in your system)
  • Sweating
  • Weakness

Interestingly, some patients' tolerance for the items which have caused dumping syndrome in the past can change with time. For example, some patients who cannot tolerate sugar immediately after surgery may be able to handle it in small amounts several years out.
