I agree with the first poster. That is how I feel when I dump. All of a sudden I look around and go "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" Anyway, make sure you are not eating things with hidden sugar such as milk, fruit, or other carbs like potatoes bread and pasta. I also get this feeling from foods that are high in fat, such as restaurant refried beans, so be careful with that too.

Cheryl, I don't know your age or situation, but I have to say that is a perfect description of a hot flash too. I have never (so far thank God) dumped so I can't compare it to that, but I go through the exacat thing when I get a hot flash. They could be spurned on by the hormone changes in your body due to weight loss, perimenopause, or as the other posters said, dumping. I would try to eliminate all possiblity of dumping first, then if they continue, go see a gym or pcp about it. Good luck! Tami

Definitely symptoms of both, mentapausal hot flashes and dumping. They are definitely miserable which ever the cause. mentapausal can be determined by a specific blood count test to tell where some hormone is. Dumping does all sorts of different reactions from hot flash to explosive diarehia. I had a co-worker tell me it gave it a high. Are you eating any sweets, if so, I would track your food for several days and you may be able to pin point it to a certain food or a certain ingredient.
