Question:
How long can a dumping episode last?

I really messed up by eating a couple cookies yesterday. Boy am I paying for it. I have been experiencing the dumping symptoms since 4pm yesterday. I have vomitted a couple times and it seemed to help temporarily but then the 'feeling' comes right back. I'm working on 20 hours now of this terrible feeling. Help! I have definitely learned my lesson! Is there any way to make the 'junk' pass through quicker?    — Deniece H. (posted on March 19, 2001)

This is just conjecture, but I think that drinking lots of water should help. At a minimum you need it because you are losing water as you vomit (and through diareahea (sp). good luck! mary
