Wow so this is dumping

Well, thought I was getting off scott free with not having dumped/no food intolerances up to this point at almost 5 mos out. Had 4 small low carb pretzels with my hummus snack tonight for a change and I'm sitting here with my heart about to jump out of my throat and likely going to puke in a minute, tmi I know. Ughhhhh, not a happy time.......

Sounds like it. It's not fun at all hang in there!!

If you are posting, you are not dumping - just sayin'

This may be a silly question-but can you "mildly dump?" I ask that because I have noticed that now when I drink milk, I start to feel weak and shaky and nauseated but I don't actually vomit.  It usually passes in about 30 minutes.  I now can't eat any cereal of any kind either. I tried oatmeal with splenda the other day and I got the same feeling.  The same thing happened with rice chex.  Of course, that could be the milk. I've had diarrhea about 3 times when this happened but most of the time the feeling just passes.

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes it can. That's how I get from protein shakes. My Dr verified it was dumping. There are many signs of dumping. You can Google "dumping syndrome after gastric bypass" the Rochester university medical center is a great resource or the ma. yoclinic.

I still can't do any cereal with milk or ice cream ...  major nausea and carb coma ...   Different to dumping though ...

 

ETA:  consider the poster when you look at answers to these questions.  Some people so "want" to dump that they will take any little symptom as evidence they are dumping - you should not be dumping at anything less than 6 months plus out because you should not be consuming any food that will cause dumping  - You will NOT dump on protein shakes unless they have HORRENDOUS carb stats (in which case you should NOT be using them)  ...

So would that be lactose intolerance? I did fine with milk early out but now (8 months out)-not so well.My sugar-free pudding doesn't bother me at all. I thought maybe it was the sugar in milk that was causing it?

 I think our tolerances are personal, to be honest.

I would no sooner drink a milk shake or eat an ice cream sundae than fly but do absolutely fine with huge amounts of cheese and greek yoghurt.   Have no idea how or why! 

I've heard there's less lactose in cheese and yogurt. I'm fine with those but regular milk makes me very sick. I use fat-free lactose-free milk in my protein shakes.

Great idea! I am going to try some lactose-free milk! I really like to have a protein shake for breakfast because it's quick and easy!

Thank you!!
