Guest guest Posted February 13, 2000 Report Share Posted February 13, 2000 Hi , I really don't think these episodes are delayed dumping because if I'm not careful with sugar I still dump and the symptoms are not at all similar. Dumping causes an increased heart rate, nausea and tiredness for me. This is definately not at all similar. I probably should have explained my portions a little more carefully. I used 1 teaspoon in a half cup of oatmeal (4g sugar) , one quarter cup of the oj I drank has 6g sugar and the banana was about 1/2 a regular one. These portions won't normally cause dumping for me at this point. Coupled with the fact that this will happen even if I haven't had any sugar leads me to believe the problem is reactive hypoglycemia. I'm going to ask my pcp about it on Friday tho to see what he thinks is going on. Thanks for your help! Peggy N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2000 Report Share Posted February 14, 2000 Peggy.. hi..<s> it's been a while! I normally have the same symptoms you describe with a " dumping " episode...but had been having the " low blood sugar " symptoms and they were becoming very aggravating..I went to my doc and he was the one who told me it was delayed dumping....for some reason..it mimics low blood sugar symptoms...<shrug> de Re: delayed dumping > From: Pegnunley@... > > Hi , I really don't think these episodes are delayed dumping because > if I'm not careful with sugar I still dump and the symptoms are not at all > similar.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2000 Report Share Posted February 14, 2000 Just out of curiosity, I looked at the sugars in a glucose tab in the store and it said 4grams of sugar. How could 4 grams work so fast. I figured it would take a lot more than 4 grams to bring your levels up.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2000 Report Share Posted February 15, 2000 It works so quickly because it is so rapidly absorbable- even in our little pouches.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2000 Report Share Posted February 15, 2000 I can't get the hang of it, even now, after 5-1/2 yrs. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. Haven't been running around with much sugar, though. But then, have had one episode cuz I just CANNOT leave the diet pop alone. Some habits you just can't break, you know? *** Please reply to me at: vitalady@... *** Thanks, www.vitalady.com Re: delayed dumping > > > I was just thinking that Michele.
