Question

Please don't laugh at me, but what do yall consider Dumping???? Is it immediately having to go potty after you eat/drink something? I've read that it is supposed to be awful and hurt really bad. Also, does anyone ever get sick and vomit while taking a poop? That seems to happen to me when it doesn't want to all come out. Any words of wisdom?

no need to laugh....that is a question that i am sure 90 percent or more of the people reading these post have some sort of answer to....but everyone is different when it comes to dumping...sometimes you vomit, sometimes the potty is your best friend and sometimes you just hurt really bad..........you will learn real quick what your body will and will not allow you to hold.....and my personal best advice is: listen to your body.....that will save you ALOT....alot of pain,sickness and frustration... tina

There are various degrees of dumping I have found. My mildest form is when my heart races. I have not vomited on dumping, yet. Wish I had sometimes, it was terrible. In my worst case, I go running to potty, am VERY sick to my stomach, alot of gas (burping seems to help with the nauseous feeling) and end up lying down for about 30 minutes for the feeling to pass. Sipping water seems to help get things moving along. I hope this helps. Julie

Hi Jennifer, Don't your worry about us laughing at you ... nobody's gonna do that here! As the other replies have said, everybody is different. And the food that causes it is different for each of us. Sometimes I react badly to a food that I tolerated the day before! For me, dumping means nausea and a rapid heartbeat for half an hour or so ... then I get soooo sleepy. I haven't thrown up since the month after my surgery when I had complications that made me sick. I've want to a few times though! Words of Wisdom: Follow the rules your nutruitionist gives you. ~ Dawn
