Question:
What Does A Dumping Headache Feel Like?

I have yet to dump on sugar because I tend to avoid it most of the time but sometimes after eating something that contains "some" sugar I get a headache that seems to be on the top of my head (hard to explain) and a slight bit of nausea and I was wondering how other people feel when they are having a reaction to sugar but it's not a full blown dump?    — susanje (posted on May 10, 2003)

I have a problem with dumping on protiens. I get a headache and I suddenly have a need to lie down for about 30 minutes. The exhaustion starts before the headache. I do no get all of the other dumping symptoms like sweating, chills, shakes etc. like other people mention.

I know that this is a pretty old question but just had to add my 2 cents. To me mild dumping feels akin to being carsick and severe dumping feels like lactose intolerance reaction times 5. If any of you have had either then you'll know what I'm talking about. Both are definitely deterrents.
