I dump almost every 2nd day! Is it possible that my 2 huge chewable multivitamins are causing this?? I am having a really hard time. . All the foods I am allowed to eat taste horrible and remind me of dumping because I keep getting sick. Could really use some meal ideas for 3 weeks post op.

I can't imagine your multivitamins have so much sugar they'd cause dumping.  What are you eating that is causing you to dump?  Are you sure it's dumping?  or do you just feel sick or what?

How much sugar was in the yogurt?  How much is in the  multi you are using?

Can't imagine what is in those that would make you dump (vomiting/diarrhea does not = dumping)  Dumping is undigested sugar hitting the intestines - it is impossible to vomit from your intestines ...

Sounds like it could be a lactose intolerance?  Maybe steer away from cow's milk and milk products for a while?

I am not very knowledgeable in this area, having never dumped (yet anyway).... but I have heard on here that most if not all dumping is related to too much sugar intake ?? What symptoms are you having that make you think it's dumping ?

I dont eat any sugar but I get sick almost every day from my multivitamins they taste very sweet. The first time I dumped was from eggs... just a couple days ago I tried salmon with no oil or added ingredients and that made me dump. .. today I had my 2 multivitamins and my yogurt and dumped. ..

Eggs would not cause dumping.  But if you eat yogurt, you are eating sugar.  There is no such thing as yogurt with no sugar, because yogurt is made from milk and milk naturally contains sugar in the form of lactose.  And unless you are eating plain yogurt, it most likely has other sugars added to it as well.

For the life of me I can't imagine what you are allowed to eat at only 3 weeks out that would cause dumping.  Can you provide us with a list of what it is you're eating daily?  That would help us help you.

Dumping is a horrible experience and very hard on the body.  If you're truly having dumping syndrome that often so early out, a call to your surgeon is probably in order.

Yogurt

Cottage cheese

Hummus

Soda crackers

Soups 

Fish (no added fat or oils)

Drinking a lot of milk and water

 

Thats about it. I get the foamies, my mouth makes a crazy amount of saliva, sweats, chills, violent diarrhea,  abdominal pain.. you name it.
