Dumping Syndrome

Dumping Syndrome

I had a 4 way heart bypass about 3 years ago. About 2 years ago I developed and have been suffering with just about all the symptoms of dumping syndrome. On Monday I was tested with medical isotopes, food, xray and was dumping whole stomach contents in 10 minutes. My GP says I have dumping syndrome. He has no idea why. Think he is as frustrated as I am, since it took me keeping daily, hourly logs for 2 years before he thought of this as a possibility.

Question, how do you get this, never had any gastro surgery? Other than diet is there something I can do or somewhere I can go for specialty help? I'm 67 and in fairly good shape otherwise.

PS: Have kept daily, hourly logs of all food, pills, etc for 2 years. Have eliminated food groups, pills, activities trying to segregate symptoms with no results. Like no caffeine products for awhile, or no milk products for awhile, or no sweets for awhile, etc.

Very frustrated.......

Have you seen my post froma  few years ago?  I have suffered from Dumping syndrome after every meal for almost 6 years- had a huge workup- never have had surgery so they do not know why- Are you on coumadin by any chance ?
because I have been on this drug for over 13 years for a dvt when I was young- was wondering if this is actually a weird drug reaction.
