Is this Dumping?

The real issue is likely that it was a liquid and that high in sugar grams...runs right thru the pouch into the intestine....and now dumping....it will pass.  If I nibble a few saltines it helps.

I know everyone is different, but more carbs would not help me.  If I was going to nibble anything, it would need to be protein.  Your body will treat the white flour in saltines about like sugar.  Adding more sugar when you are dumping is not usually a good idea.

Sounds like dumping to me. I get light headed and shaky as well as nauseous in addtion to my heart racing!

24g of sugar is way too much! Hope you're feeling better! :)

IT COULD ALSO MEAN THAT YOUR NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER, MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT WHEN YOUR HEART STARTS TO FEEL LIKE IT'S RACING THAT MEANS NOT ENOUGH WATER, I HAD DUMPIMG OVER THE WEEKEND AND IT IS SO UGLY TO FEEL THAT WAY, I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE..... BUT I DRANK SOME ICE WATER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LEMON ANS LITTLE BIT OF SALT AND IT WAS WONDERFUL.....

Does dying sound like a good thing right now?  Then it's dumping.

 I dump on that much sugar also.  I stick to no more than 7-8 grams.  I had a similar incident today at lunch and had to lay down for a while.  I had a small clementine.  I  can eat most fruits, but this was the first time having an orange.  I was 3/4th way finished with it when my heart started to race, light headedness, etc. and just not feeling good at all.  Now, I'll stay away from oranges for now.
