Question:
Was this sensation dumping syndrome?

I had 3/4 of a cupcake Halloween night, including all the frosting. I did not feel sick at all, but what I did happen was 20 minutes later I felt like I was crashing and needed to fall asleep. What was that?    — Michele B. (posted on November 3, 2003)

I believe that is one way to dump. that happens to me & I usually get diarhea later. I have found is If lie down I will sleep a long time, if i get up and force myself to walk, I get over it in about 20 minutes. Of course the real key is avoiding the situation in the first place :-) but I have not acheived perfection yet& not likely too in this lifetime. seriously tho sometimes it happens on things that "shouldn't" make me dump.

When I dump, I feel a bit nauseated and I start shaking from low blood sugar. I become tired and need to le down for about 1/2 hour. I've only dumped 2x and both times it is because I ate something with milk. 1st time it was some cereal with hidden sugar. 2nd time was just yesterday. I put some peanut butter jelly on a cracker and then had some milk afterward. That will teach me to drink with my meal!

That was dumping. Everyone is different in dumping, and sometimes even different foods cause different dumping in the same person. SLEEPING is one kind of dumping (which I read once make sure your NOT DRIVING when your 'eating')... some times I might jut have diarehea...

I am glad I found this question. I would never have suspected that sleeping could be a symptom of dumping! I am 11 days out and just starting to add soft foods. I have been really sleepy today. Maybe I haven't been doing such a good job with my food selections.

I am so glad you posted this question. I am one who keeps saying "I don't dump". Well, when I eat not so great, I feel like I have taken a xanax and can't stay awake. Like a drugged feeling. I have yet to get sick, although the other night, I snuck into my daughters halloween candy and diareah for two days. I guess I do dump.
