Late Dumping Syndrome

Well, here's one for the books. Dr. Garber emailed me back today, and he said that he thinks I have late dumping syndrome. That's what Dr. Holover said last night too.

Dr. G. said to keep track of what I eat and to stay away from carbs. The only carbs I eat are fruits & veggies (well, not too many veggies yet,) so he said to stick w/berries. No peaches!

He didn't think it was a new or the same stricture, as I am able to eat solid food--but if that changes to let him know right away.

I have to go look up tomatos to see how they rate on the carb index--I finally have one turning red on the vine.
Who ever would have thought I'd be dying for tomatos instead of ice cream?

What a wonderful yet strange journey this is!

((((HUGS))))

For me it is right away, I start to not feel so well. I am a little over 2 years out and not much bothers me BUT if I have to much fat it can take until the next morning and then I get the dumping syndrome feeling. (strange) That is just how my body acts and plays that out, we are so different with how we deal with things. I hope you are feeling better now hun ~hugs~

At least you have an answer...and can work on it...I'm sorry you are having troubles... Rosemary

Hope you are feeling better sweetie.  At least now you have an answer.

Thanks, ladies.

1 peach, 19 gr carbs.
1 tomato 7 gr carbs.

Not dumping, priceless.

Karen, having that FEAR of dumping is a good thing! It will keep you "on track" glad you got an answer :o)  hugs, BRITT

Wow, Karen! I hope thisis resolved soon for you! Gld to hear they have a bit of a handle on it so you have some direction at least.

Awwwwwwwwwwww!  I would prefer maters with a lil salt over ice cream even before surgery!!!!  NUMMIES!  Hope this is just a temporary thing for ya!
