Dumping

Hi,

I had stomach cramping last week for about 3 days in a row.  I was fine for a couple of days but today I had a cookie and I noticed the cramping again.  Do you think I was dumping but just a mild form?

Thanks to all for your advice. 

If the cramping is lasting 3 days, it's not dumping.  Take a look at what you are eating before it happens, and see if there is a food connection, if so, try avoiding that food and see if it comes back.

Thanks Cathy.  I think it was because I was eating the odd granola bar and processed foods.  I wasn't eating a lot but what I ate wasn't good.  

No, this is not dumping. There are two kinds of "dumping", one that is immediate and one that is delayed. It is very important for RNY patients to understand what this is. I have provided a link below from the Mayo Clinic for you to read:
