dumping or something worse?????????***MISERABLE*****
I am tryingto determine if I am experiencing my first true dumping episode or if its food poison.. i ate the meat and cheese out of a lunchable earlier only to realize later it was out of date, it went out of date on feb. 16th, now it didnt taste bad or odd or anything. or could it be dumping, i decided to snag a tiny piece of my kids honey bun ( and i do mean small) and thats not somthing I usually do. I wil be 5mos out on the 12th. anyways symptoms I am having are
nausea
severe cramping in abdomen(sometimes sharp shooting)
chills
tmi but mushy poo
dry heaved , no vomit yet
anything i can do to alleviate this
My surgeons office is closed for the night
thanks in advance
It does not sound like dumping. You would not be likely to dump on that little sugar, and dumping usually also includes a rapid heart beat, sweating, and dizziness. My guess would be food poisoning, although you'll probably know by how long it lasts. Dumping usually only lasts an hour or two, while food poisoning can last 24 hours or even a bit more.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
everyone is different kelly when it comes to dumping and i said it is dumping because thats exactly how i get when i dump. not everyone gets the rapid heart beat, sweating, and dizziness; because i don't.. and dumping does last longer than an hour or two.. as i am speaking from experience so therefore i know how it feels, and someone CAN dump from very little sugar because i do from time to time.
