Dumping MORE often as time goes on?
Hello everyone! I don't post much, but I do lurk! Has anyone else noticed INCREASED dumping the further out from surgery you are? I did not dump so much for the first year or so, but now that I am well over 2 years out (and 140 pounds lighter), I find I am getting more sensitive to carbs all the time! I keep my carb intake quite low (usually under 30 grams/day), avoiding all grains and simple sugars. Could it be because my intestines are absorbing more nutrients now? Any input from the "more senior" RNYer's??
