Is this dumping?

Hi. I feel like I'm dying. Please someone advise. I went to take my Iron pill with a sip of Cranberry/Grape juice (no sugar added; just natural sugars from fruit), half juice and half water. Within a few minutes, I got SEVERE abdominal, diareah like cramps along with SEVERE nausea. When I ran to the toilet & sat down, nothing would come out at first. I could feel the agonizing cramp travelling through my intestines, probably taking about 40 minutes or so, until finally it came to the end and then I had the diarreah. At the same time, I was holding the waste bin to my mouth and having SEVERE vomiting, but without vomit. Well unless you consider a small amount of foamy spit & mucous to be vomit. I was surprised that the Iron pill DID NOT come up at all. I felt SO sick that I was going to call 911. But now I think it has finally passed and I'm feeling OK. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Could this be my first dumping syndrome from the juice? I'm 3 1/2 weeks post-op (open distal RNY) and I had this sae juice this morning with no problems at all. Does dumpng syndrome show up from the very beginning after surgery? Or could it take a few weeks before it happens, like what I was describing. Or, was this not dumping at all? What was it then?
