HELP! I think I dumped on sodium AGAIN.. is this even possible?

Hello there everyone. For the second time, I think I dumped on Sodium. The first time, I had THE worst diarhea ever! Just water for hours, (sorry so gross). I had just broth that incidentally was loaded with sodium. Well last night, my hubby made Hungarian Goulash, and I had maybe 4 baby bites of it, and then ate something else, since it was too salty for me. ICK. Well within the hour, I felt my heart being tachycardic, I was quite warm, like I was having hot flashes, I was lightheaded, and I felt so gassy, like I was going to either blow up literally, or have bad diarrhea again, though I was quite nausious (sp?) This lasted for just over 2 hours, and then I felt just fine by around hour 4. What went on? I know that it wasn't on fats, because for one, I don't dump on fats, and two, I didn't have that many, (it was a 'light Hungarian Goulash". So is this even possible?? Granted I didn't have as much sodium this go around then I did last time, but it was quite striking at how I can have ALL the symptoms of dumping, with just sodium. Was this sodium shock or something? Something else altogether? <p> I am almost 6 months post op from a proximal RNY. Please, If there is anyone who can shed some light on this, please let me know. Thank you all very much! Love you, Annie
