Watermelon... Ouch! Am I dumping?

Ok, so I just ate some watermelon and now I'm having really bad low back pain. This has happened a couple times after I eat lately. Am I dumbing or do you think this could be a gallbladder issue? I still have mine. Thanks for your replys, Jodi

Some foods still cause me gas which turns to lower back pain. I use gas X and usually feel better. Dumping is more of the shakes, sweating, nausea the runs.... Which can happen with too much sugar... Even natural sugar as in the watermelon. Terri 303/136

Jodi, My nutritionist said that most people don't dump on fruit, I never have so I can't speak from experience either. I can however speak from having severe gallbladder attacks and it wasn't my lower back, it was to the right and high up that I got the worst stabbing pain I have ever felt. After 3 days of suffering I went to the E.R. and was admitted with a severely infected gallbladder, I had to take antibiotics for 3 days prior to removal. Could it be IBS or related to gas or intestinal issues? Good Luck, Heidi

Well...I don't normally dump on fruit...but first thing in the morning I can....I did it the other day.....I dumped big time on fruit salad...it was horrendous...and I'm 2 years and 9 months out. I can eat fruit in the afternoon...but first food of the day and I'm in the bed for an hour.....So I guess I'm an exception. Hugs Charlie

Jodi, Doesn't sound like dumping to me because of the symptoms, Like the other post said you would have heart palpatations, sweating, vomiting...but not pain in lower back. Galbladder is upper right side just below the rib cage and feels like a red hot pocker pushed all the way through you and out the back (mid range). My vote is on intestinal problem, but I would call my Dr. tomorrow if I were you. Hope this helps Pat

jODI, I JUST CAME BACK ON TO FIND THIS POST AS A CO-WORKER JUST TOLD ME WATERMELON GIVES HER REALLY BAD GAS PAINS. NEVER HEARD OF SUCH, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT YOU MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING. I DO KNOW THAT THINGS THAT DIDN'T BOTHER ME BEFORE SURGERY DO NOW AND OTHER THINGS DON'T BOTHER ME AT ALL THAT USED TO. GO FIGURE! PAT
