Someone will come with the technical definition, but dumping is a physical (unpleasant) reaction from eating high sugar or high fat foods.  You get physically sick, hot flashes, cramping, diahera etc.

Happens usually when one does not have a pyloric valve to regulate the rate at which food enters the small intestine.  In people with stomas, the food is dumped suddently into the intestine causing a variety of physical symptoms. If you go to Youtube, search on RNY Dumping and Oreo...and you can see a very disturbing video of an RNYer dumping on an oreo.

OT Sami...but I can't imagine someone wanting something so much they would go through that.  I haven't seen the video but I've heard about it.  And I have a friend of a friend who said she wanted a twinkie so bad she didn't care if she dumped. I don't get it...but to I guess that's why I didn't get the RnY...

Sleevers don't generally dump as a rule cuz our pyloric vavle is all intact...but really anyone can dump at any time on certain things. I do dump now after eating icecream...it does not set well with me at all and I get sick on it after about 5-10 min after eating...very nauseated..sweaty...have to go lay down....so it took me twice dumping on icecream to figure out that I can't eat it anymore...the real stuff anyway..I can eat the fatfree sugar free kind and thats ok with me...it is just as good Sherri

WooHootiHoo! I have made it to 109!!!! A total of 190lbs lost!
