Dumping
Last night I had my first time of 'dumping' I have heard many stories about this and it can consist of many things. There was no throwing up or diarrhea.
It was straight out pain in my intestines. I seriously wanted to die.( and that is not even exaggerating ) I have had 6 surgeries, gave birth to 2 children, and I NEVER in my life felt pain like that. It woke me up from a dead sleep. It lasted and on and off for about an hour. I never, ever want to feel that again.
Today I am basically afraid to eat anything at all. It is 2pm and all I have had is water. I know I need my protein. But I am seriously afraid to touch anything else. But that is my update... sorry it is a downer.
It means that tuna, which is a protein, and a amall amount of mayo, which is a fat, won't cause dumping (only carbs/sugar cause dumping), and that dumping would have happened much sooner than 2 hours after eating.
You didn't mention any heart racing, shakiness, dizziness, sweating/flushing, which are the hallmarks of dumping, so probably the food simply did not agree with you. Not every digestive upset is dumping.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I don't think that was dumping. You wouldn't dump on tuna with low fat mayo. There would have been very little sugar in that. Plus, dumping rarely happens that long after you eat. Did you puree the tuna? Did you maybe not chew well enough?

Well, if you're not in pain now, you probably don't need to call your surgeon. But I don't want to tell you not to call. If you are concerned, you should probably call. What I would do, I think, is eat something light, like yogurt, and see how that goes. If you have severe pain again after eating, I'd call.
