You hit the nail over the head! It can also be called " control " .......when

doesn't get his way, no one is paying attention to him at that SECOND

(lol) or he doesn't understand something, he will " dump " the contents of his

cup.....and he'll be looking right at you while he's doing it and run away

when you start towards him....so he KNOWS it's wrong, but feels compelled to

do it anyway....survival technique??

Dumping is caused by a surgical procedure called a vagotomy, cutting the nerve that controls digestion and emptying ability of the stomach, and a pyloroplasty, cutting the muscle ring at the end of the stomach, causing the food to move more easily from the stomach to the intestines. These procedures are done with an esophagectomy. The symptoms are after eating you get bloated, rapid heart rate, lightheaded, falling blood pressure, explosive diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache and sometimes vomiting. You feel as though you have to lie down for about an hour. Then 3-4 hours after eating the symptoms come back this time with falling blood sugar. This is all caused by rapid stomach emptying. The intestines like a controlled amount of food passed into it. When it gets a large amount all at once, the intestines pull fluid from the body to try to "water down" the food that it gets. This rapid shift of fluid causes the symptoms. The food entering the intestine quickly causes a rapid release of insulin to help combat the rapid rise in blood sugar. This rapid rise of blood sugar is short-lived and the insulin continues to be distributed causing the fall in blood sugar 4 hours after eating. There is also a component of an inability to absorb certain vitamins and minerals as well as dehydration. The only treatment is eating 6 small meals a day, do not drink fluid with meals, multivitamins, drink plenty of fluid, stay away from sugars, vegetable pectin before meals and try to maintain a healthy weight. Joe dumping when you say "dumping" is that vomiting? Cathey__________________________________________________

Rapid gastric emptying, or dumping syndrome, happens when the lower end of the small intestine (jejunum) fills too quickly with undigested food from the stomach. "Early" dumping begins during or right after a meal. Symptoms of early dumping include nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, and shortness of breath. "Late" dumping happens 1 to 3 hours after eating. Symptoms of late dumping include weakness, sweating, and dizziness. Many people have both types. I have the "Late" variety which usually happpens about 1-2 hours after a meal.

Stomach surgery is the main cause of dumping syndrome because surgery may damage the system that controls digestion. Eating 3-4 small meals a day seems to help this situation.

Do you have any more information on this topic? This happened to me last night. I am trying to figure out if I did anything to make this happen. I did have a big meal, but did not do anything out of the ordinary. Is this harmful to you?

This is a further explanation of what I sent the other day.

There are a number of medical sites that can perhaps give you more information. If you use google.com as your search engine and type dumping syndrome you will get a long list of sites that attempt to explain the syndrome. I would however be selective about the source of the site.

PHYSIOLOGY OF DUMPING SYNDROME

Dumping syndrome is usually divided into "early" and "late" phases - the two phases have separate physiologic causes and will be described separately. In practical fact, a patient usually experiences a combination of these events and there is no clear-cut division between them.Early dumping is caused by the high osmolarity of simple carbohydrates in the bowel. The various types of sugar all have small molecules, so that a gram of (for example) sucrose has MANY more molecules than a gram of protein, creating a higher concentration (number of molecules per cc) from simple sugars than from other foods. This matters because, inside the body, fluid shifts will generally go toward the higher concentration of molecules. So, if a patient consumes a bite of milk chocolate (lots of sugar), when it gets to the Roux limb it will quickly "suck" a significant amount of fluid into the bowel. This rapid filling of the small bowel causes it to be stretched (which causes cramping pain). This also causes the activation of hormonal and nerve responses that cause the heart to race (palpitations) and cause the individual to become clammy and sweaty. Vomiting or diarrhea may follow as the intestine tries to quickly rid itself of this "irritant."Late dumping has to do with the blood sugar level. The small bowel is very effective in absorbing sugar, so that the rapid absorption of a relatively small amount of sugar can cause the glucose level in the blood to "spike" upward. The pancreas responds to this glucose challenge by "cranking up" its output of insulin. Unfortunately, the sugar that started the whole cycle was such a small amount that it does not sustain the increase in blood glucose, which tends to fall back down at about the time the insulin surge really gets going. These factors combine to produce hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which causes the individual to feel weak, sleepy, and profoundly fatigued.Late dumping is the mechanism by which sugar intake can create low blood sugar, and it is also a way for gastric bypass patients to get into a vicious cycle of eating. If the patient takes in sugar or a food that is closely related to sugar (simple carbohydrates like rice, pasta, potatoes) they will experience some degree of hypoglycemia in the hour or two after eating. The hypoglycemia stimulates appetite, and it's easy to see where that is going....The reason that sugar does not cause dumping in non-operated people is that the stomach, pancreas, and liver work together to prepare nutrients (or sugar) before they reach the small intestine for absorption. The stomach serves as a reservoir that releases food downstream only at a controlled rate, avoiding sudden large influxes of sugar that can occur after a Roux-en-Y. The released food is also mixed with stomach acid, bile, and pancreatic juice to control the chemical makeup of the stuff that goes downstream and avoid all the effects outlined above.Obviously, surgeons consider dumping syndrome to be a beneficial effect of gastric bypass - it seems to be important to provide quick and reliable negative feedback for intake of the "wrong" foods. In practice, most patients do NOT experience full-blown dumping more than once or twice. Most simply say that they have "lost their taste" for sweets. Of course, this is always a great topic to ask patients about directly, so you may want to ask about it at our support group in person, or in a support group online.

Typically foods high in fat and high in

simple sugars cause dumping syndrome in the bariatric patient.

Hi ,

So many of us deal with constipation. For me I take 1 scoop of Miralax every morning in my protein drink. I have been doing this for 2 years now and it works like magic. Try this if you want. It has no taste or flavor so it is easy to mix it in anything you are drinking.

Yep, that's what it was. I use Miralax as highly recommended from

doctors and patients. It has no taste. You can put it in anything

liquid. I drink a lot of Lipton diet Green Tea, so I put it in there and

shake well and drink. You don't taste the Miralax. Sounds like the stuff

you took is way too much sugar for your system. Your doctor should

realize that with your WLS that you might be intolerate of sugars. Get

the Miralax and take half an evelope a day, or 1 whole one every other

day. You'll be fine with that. Drink a lot of fluids, water and whatever

else you can get down. I know it's a horrible feeling, but it's just a

feeling, no damage occurs from dumping. If I get off balance and feel it

coming up, I pop 1/4 mg. Xanax and that slows the adrenaline rush down.

That's the only thing I found that nips it in the bud, so to speak.

So ok I'm not dumb however being that this is a topic of discussion, I'll just

ask so I have confirmation! So I sometimes don't go for like 2-3 weeks and it of

course makes you feel puffy and fat and just man you can't fit into your new

cute skin tight jeans now LOL so before the surgery I loved ice cream that was

my treat of choice! Now my tummy don't like it so if I have it, it's like a bite

and that happens like 1x in 3 mo if that HOWEVER I now, and didn't before, have

a major jones for candy, like i'm 5 again! Does anyone else have these awful

issue? So I never had this issue before of not going and I've been using

benefiber in everything i drink, I'm eating oatmeal (read oats are good for this

issue) fiber bars... so why is it that now after the surgery this problem is

happening? I'm concerned because I CAN NOT GO unless I use a laxative and i

don't want to become dependent on them cuz then that's it i'll have to use that

forever my body won't just do it on it's own! HELP ME PLEASE Oh so how is

benefiber different from this other stuff I've seen mentioned? Dumping is when

you eat to fast and too much and make your food move from the pouch (your new

tummy) into the intenstines to quickly correct? A friend had bypass and said

that's what that meant i always thought it was a bathroom issue....
