Late Dumping caused by Sugar

Hello, 

I'm afraid no. I experienced late dumping only a couple of times.

My bane is early dumping and it's a very weird experience that leaves me very tired and sleepy. Very sweaty , buckets of if it, and that's not a figure of speech unfortunately. 

I was not told about sugar content. I don't eat much of it, but I don't have problems with jam. 

Have you talked to your dietician?

Cheers

Hi SeaSurf, 

Thanks for your reply, the dietician told us to eat no more than 5% sugar, and it works, just makes eating not that much fun when most of the tasty comfort food is now a no go zone. So I just wondered if anyone had any real life experience. I guess it would bring some comfort if we knew that others had suffered this and it's got better for them as it gives hope to us.

And yes dumping both early and late has a very wide range of unpleasant symptoms a seemingly unique combination for each individual. Such a tricky time to navigate. 

All the best! 

Hi I am 6 1/2 years post op and suffered late and early dumping.

The early dumping symptoms faded about a year or so after the op, but the late dumping is still there from time to time. 

There are ways you can make it easier and as for avoiding sugar thats not always the cause as fatty foods and simple carbohydrates can also be the cause, avoiding sugar certainly didn’t help me, eating small and often was the way I dealt with it

Thank you for your response. 

On the whole we find that cutting out sugar significantly reduces the late dumping from happening but the last week he's had two instances of late dumping which isn't sugar related so it's a bit of a mystery and very hard to work out. 

I'm glad you don't suffer from it so bad now.
