It sounds like you are dumping. At 8.5 months I experience that after eating bad things.

Yes, that happens to me sometimes. But let me explain further. 25 years ago I had a gastric bypass surgery, not exactly the same as they do them today, but similar. After my surgery I could no longer drink milk or eat ice cream. When I did, I would get very warm, almost sweat, sick to my stomac and have to sit and rest or lie down and rest for about 10 minutes. This happend to me for the past 25 years. I just wasn't able to eat ice cream or drink milk anymore. It happend everytime I would try. The ice cream was the worst, I eventually just learned to live with the upset tummy with the milk as I love milk, BUT only drank a glass now and then, Before my first surgery 25 years ago, I would drink more than 1/2 gallon a day. NOW that I have had a "revision" only a month ago, I can drink milk again without that feeling! I havent' tried ice cream as over the years I just stopped liking it. But right now if I eat bread or eggs it seems to make me feel almost the same way. I guess this must be the "dumping syndrome" everyone talks about.

I do not agree that this is necessarily dumping. I eat very healthy, and I almost always sweat after I eat. I think when you are digesting your food faster, your metabolism can also speed up, and that may be why the sweating occurs. Or, if you are eating carbs and you normally eat a lot of protein, that can rev up the sweats...anyhow, I am almost nine months and I have it happen all the time, I am used to it.
