Thanks Teresa. It's a full body flush. I feel intense heat and break out in a sweat so much that my hair is soaked and sweat runs down my face, hands, legs, etc. I know this can't be normal. I have mentioned it to my PCP, but he couldn't give me a reason for it. I didn't think about telling my gastroenterologist. No, I don't have diarrhea or anything else with it. Even if I have a snack such as fruit or nuts I flush.

Hi Gail @gailb

Give your GI doctor a call or send a message through the patient portal and run those symptoms by him/her. Perhaps it is nothing, but it could represent something that needs to be treated.

Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Wishing you well~

After gastric surgery my brother in law experienced what he called dumping syndrome and it was triggered by certain foods. He avoided all intensely sweet desserts. His surgery was for stomach ulcers that could not be cured medically and was probably done before gastroscopy with fiberoptic scopes were perfected. He said it was like what you describe and very unpleasant.

Hello @tessandra

I appreciate your adding your brother's experience to this discussion started by @gailb .

Have your brother's symptoms cleared up completely with the change in diet?

He was able to prevent the episodes by avoiding the foods that triggered the problem.
