Ok gross but here goes....."dumping syndrome"

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!

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.

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

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 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.

Something similar happens to me when I eat non home-cooked meals. If there's too much msg, salt or sugar, I tend to bloat, get itchy with hives and just feel gross. I try not to go "all out" anymore if I go out to eat. It just wrecks havoc on my stomach and digestive system. Not fun :noway:

It's not "dumping syndrome" it's overindulging. I too will have an upset stomach if i over indulge after i've been "good" for so long. It's a terrible feeling. nauseas, bloated stomach, diarrhea, my stomach could literally feel like it was going to explode!

I couldn't even sleep because my stomach was so full and upset. Not food poisoning because everyone ate it and not the flu because you'd KNOW. It wouldn't go away so quickly… the flu can last 7-10days

If you think about it - this makes perfect sense. So you have an excess "bulk" of material which is pushing against tight muscle and you have just expanded your stomach and intestinal tract to maximum - this has gotta cause some kind of discomfort alone. You have supplied a significant amount of energy to your system your body - this throws your body out of homeostasis - you flood your blood system with simple sugars and all sorts of other nutrients so you are on a carb / sugar high (no wonder the poor body cannot sleep) and the heart is racing since - There is an excessive amount of food than your body can absorb but come hell or high water your body is going to try to - "OK guys lets ramp things up put systems on OT and make hay while the sun shines" - in the meantime you have all these fats that have nowhere to go, the sugars / carbs are likely your bodies first option for storage so for the rest of the fats and proteins we will fill what we can and the rest lubricates the remaining mess through the intestinal tract to the inevitable exit.

I get a similar but milder set of symptoms when I eat a lot of calories at once. I have been thinking it was my gallbladder, because part of the pain is similar to a gallbladder attack I had once. I can't eat as much as I used to, which is all right with me! It feels yucky, sort of like the flu, sort of like a gallbladder attack.

I guess my stomach is self-correcting now, if I can't overeat without getting sick.
