Happened to me the other day. Ate moderately but it must have been to much garbage because I was super sick. Glad its not just me. It makes me want to eat healthy.

Yeah, I've had and heard of similar experiences. My best advice would be if you're going to "cheat, splurge" or whatever you call it, just do it on a reasonable scale that your body can at least handle.

Oh gosh... I was dealing with this on Saturday. Copious amounts of wine tend to do that to me... It helps to eat lightly through the day, and try to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

Yep, this happens to me all the time! The last time was New Year's Eve, after a late night of eating tons of fattening appetizers and drinking more than I usually do. I pulled an all-nighter, and not the fun ones I remember from college. Your symptoms are identical to mine. I am not prone to vomiting (haven't in almost 22 years, knock on wood!) so at least that doesn't happen to me. The rest of it, though, "been there, done that."

It really does make you rethink your food choices, doesn't it? I can still eat a little heavy and go off of my plan, but I can't eat huge amounts of high fat food anymore. When that was all my body was getting I could process it normally, but now it's a shock to my system.

Coffee prob isnt the best I know.

I dont think it was food poisening because no one else got it and we were all sharing and biting off each others plates.

It could be.

What I failed to mention was that I went to a baby shower a few weeks back and splurged on sugar and carbs and got sick in a very similair way, but nothing like last night.

The only difference was I probably splurged twice as much!

Me again, lol...I agree that it's not food poisoning. I've had both, and this dumping syndrome is different.

Oh dear I do sympathise. I had something similar just this last week and I rarely suffer any stomach type problems after eating. I did not particularly overindulge but I had a chicken fillet that tasted very salty not added by me but I think it was in the brand freezing process. The other was the Giant beans in tomato sauce, which were lovely, but also shop bought. I rarely add salt to my cooking and am most definitely putting it down to that. I can ay I will be buying neither again.

The over indulgence is very likely to get the bowels moving that along with all the added extras in the cooking process probably have not helped.
Hope you are feeling better now!

I don't believe it's true dumping syndrom. I just thing your body had a bad reaction to that much change so quickly. Now that I'm eating pretty healthy and only drinking water..if I take a break and eat too much sugar or too many really bad carbs I get a pretty upset stomach. I guess you have to pick and choose what you want to eat when you go out. I went out with friends last night and ordered fries with my drinks..felt like total crap after I got home later because I'm used to eating pretty healthy and the fries were pretty greasy (yuck!). Probably just something we all have to deal with if we want to make these changes for ourselves. Hope you're feeling better!

I don't know if it is dumping syndrome but when I have a food bender it does go right through me and I feel hungover the next day.

This happened to me when I at Qdoba a couple of weeks ago. I think at some point your stomach/body just gets used to you eating smaller, healthier meals-- and when you upset that pattern by eating more, less healthy... just generally "heavier" foods, your body gets upset and tries to get back to the healthier state.

I know it's awful, but if I ever dive back into a carb/sugar binge I hope this happens to me so I'll never do it again!

Junk food hangovers. Took a day off from MFP early last year, ate loads of cr*p including pizza, and spent the next day with full hangover symptons. Good thing though, put me right off of pizza

Ive never heard of this happening to anyone who hasn't had surgery, but I guess it can. I had wieght loss surgery 2 years ago and dumping has happened to me in the same way that it happened to you. Sugar and food that turn into high amounts of sugar is what it tiggers it for me. I don't eat any sugar now unless it's like say milk proteirn sugar. And that helps. Dumping is NEVER something you want to happen. I've heard it compared to having a stroke.

I am so glad that I read your post, as I have always suffered with IBS and I have never heard of this "dumping syndrome", but it rings so true to me!!

This happened to me last night, and I thought it was the fact that I had been stressed with the fact that I had to travel on Friday night/Saturday morning (very stressful considering my Ibs problems), but everything you explained makes sooooo much sense!

Thank you!

Oh and also, I am really sorry that you felt like that, I know how awful it is, and it is soooo hard to not indulge.

I hope you feel better as the day goes on. Drink lots of water and try not to eat too much, give your tummy a bit of a break.

Could be food poisoning, could be a bug, could be dumping syndrome. This also sounds similar to what I sometimes experience with IBS.

This happened to me right after holloween. I ate quite a few milk duds and woke up in the moring in agony. Haven't had any desire to eat candy since.

Just seeing this thread. I have experienced 'dumping syndrome' as a result of having gastric bypass surgery 11 years ago. It was trial and error after recovering and finding out what my body could no longer process. I always have to balance carbs with protein, fat, etc. If I do that it's 'all good'. I forget on occasion, usually with carbs. Not over-eating, but just not in 'balance', and yuck! Can't tolerate more than a bite of anything fried....one fried clam is plenty I was told I am also hypoglycemic. Even citrus fruit or juice can cause a major problem. Anything with natural sugar has to be taken with protein to balance.

I had the same thing just today. So I think it is called dumping syndrome. At leasts looks like that. I started eating healthy for a month now and last week I ate one or two servings of french fries for dinner. I Had hard time sleeping that night and I had series of diarrhea the next day. The same thing happened again today when I splurged on extra Nutella and Popcorn- 2 hours later I was in the bathroom. I wonder is that normal reaction of the body.

I never knew what it was, but this used to happen when I was in the army to some people. Sometimes we would get to go to an event during training, like fourth if July during basic. We had access to real Pizza Hut pan pizza, ice bream bars, candy bars, soda, chips. It was really common for a number of soldiers to get sick like that. Heir bodies just weren't used to that stuff anymore or something. That or they ate way too much.
