Question:
I was wondering if very loose diarreha is considered dumping,?
I never throw up, but if I eat something that doesn't agree with my pouch, I get really bad diarreha within 10 minutes or so, also I have been having dizzty spells, could this be because I haven't been getting in enough water? and protein? I would also like to speed up my weight loss, any advice would be greatly appreciated?I have lost 71 pounds and 42.5 inches since February 27 of this year..valita — bikerchic (posted on June 9, 2002)

Hi Valita.... Sounds like dumping to me. If I eat something I shouldn't or
too much of something, I get the diarrhea within about 15 min, sweaty, a
little dizzy and just lie down till it passes. The diarrhea for me goes on
for about an hour on and off then passes. I too am losing slowly (40# in 9
wks) and this week put a plan into action: I started working our 3-4x a
week at Curves for Women, I drink about 64-80 oz of water a day, I do an
exercise video at lunchtime at work and I'm avoiding carbs more. I'm
really pushing the protein. I feel really good so hopefully it will work.
I also do a banana every other day which has taken away leg cramps. My
best to you.

According to the diectican who teaches classes for all the Denver metro
docs, this is dumping. <p> Dumping is caused by simple sugars being
'dumped' into the small intestine very quickly and not having a chance to
be absorbed. This causes water to be pulled into the intestines causing
cramping, sudden watgery diarrhea and sometimes a dizzy, shaky, sweaty
reaction (hypoglycemia). It is not caused by starches or fat.

I have had a similar reaction, though it can hit me hours after whatever I
ate has affected me, and its not just from sugar, but from fats. For
example, I had chicken in a pita (grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion
and sour cream sauce) at the County Fair and ate 1/2 of it. 2 hours later,
cramps, diahrea, dizziness hit me. Wasn't sure it was the pita as I had
also had some fruit and a chocolate chip cookie but later that same night I
hate the other 1/2 of the pita and the next morning had the same reaction.
Must have been too much fat in it.
