Hi ,

 

Might be a good question to ask you doc, whether you had that pyloroplasty or

not. It could perhaps give you an answer as to the why of your dumping issues

(that is if you had one...).

 

Furthermore I've been told that dumping issues disappear in most cases about a

year post -ectomy (in non-pylorplastied that is).

 

I got Sandostatine prescribed against my dumping issues before we left for Italy

(so that I could eat dumping free). It's a cancer med that has a side effect

that lessens dumping issues. One should inject the stuff himself right before

dinner. I did so, but unfortunately the side effects of the Sandostatine in my

case was that I got a kind of dumping within 10 minutes after the shot, whitout

ever taking a bite... So I didn't take it all that much, I tried it, didn't like

it, I stopped. But it might be worth trying for you, it doesn't harm you and if

it works you could choose to use it say on special occasions (going out for

dinner, during holidays, Christmas etc.).

 

I am really glad to hear that you are doing fine eating wise!!!

 

Lots of love,

Isabella

Hi Isabella,

By now you've probably had some food! I'll be thinking about you all day.

mentioned having a pyloroplasty with her esophagectomy, so I just

wanted to let you know that this was something my Dr. never even mentioned. (As

I'm not seeing him any more, I guess I'll never know if I had a pyloroplasty or

not). I also had the same reaction as when Dr. Gehman had me try

Metoclopramide HCL (Reglan), directly after my esophagectomy. I was " wired " and

wide awake for hours. He put me on Reglan to help with all of my " dumping "

issues, but I guess I wasn't on it long enough to give it a chance (I was

fidgety, itchy and just couldn't sit still at all). Strange, but I also have

Pippa's reaction to the endoscope, and I always have to have extra drugs to

relax me enough not to " fight " the camera) I am completely wide awake as soon as

it's over and it completely puzzles my Dr.I look forward to hearing about your

first actual meal, and I hope this Doctor

can solve all your other issues regarding the " dumping " and then you can give

me all of your helpful ideas. (I still have to be very careful what I eat, no

sugar, no dairy, no drinking while eating . . . but I can eat perfectly fine. I

even swallow a Centrum Vitamin every morning with no problem. Any way, this

wasn't supposed to be about me, I just wanted to wish you the best with all of

your digestion trouble.

Good Luck!
