60 hours post-op - is this dumping

Leroygil06, my daughter had RNY 8-12-10 and is doing very well - EXCEPT I think she has had 2 or maybe 3 dumping episodes.  Morphine PCA was dc'd yesterday morning so she received her first dose of  liquid Loritab - which caused serious reaction.  So nurse gave her 650mg of liquid Tylenol for pain.  Sudden nausea, explosive diarrhea, dizziness was almost immediate.  This happens everytime she takes it.  There is no sugarfree product available.  Doctor found out about her only getting regular strength tylenol today and said it was not enough - so he ordered tylenol and codeine - but it too is  in sugar base. She is now home,  so we are crushing tablets in water - YUK.  Any suggestions?????  She has been a trooper, but really would appreciate some pain relief.

I guess I am not sure why she can not take pain pill. I went right to a pain pill after the IV medicine. There are small enough narcotics that she can swallow them. I never took any liuid medicine.
Hope she finds some relief.

I t would be better if we could break the tylenol into small granules, he says the crushed powder and water is awful, but the dumping like episodes with the sweetened store bought tylenol is so bad, she refuses that.  I am a little concerned.

There are different meds available. I had oxicodone when I came home and it was in tablet form. It's small and very doable.

It may be that what she is experiencing from  tylenol is dumping. It's not common to have this happen, but is possible. The good news is that she is not likely to remain 'that' sensitive to carbs as she moves forward, but it's hard to say. I'd stay in tight step with her Dr's office and wouldn't hesitate to call if she is having trouble.

Wishing her all the best, 

Many thx
