SIBO and Rapid Gastric Emptying or Dumping Syndrome

@claytamos You can actually have both. The food can sit in the stomach.. actually long enough to make a bezoar and then you will suddenly start dumping. The dumping usually contains both solid and liquid. Every day before dumping you may actually have normal bowel habits.. no constipation. You wonder where did all this crap come from??? For some reason the stomach will digest some foods and not others. I had to stop eating raw foods and eat soft cooked food to make them more digestible to help my situation. I also watch my sugar and greasy food intake. I started taking a probiotic which helped tremendously with the liquid bowel movements and dumping syndrome. I tried several, but Align works best for me. Now I have a swallowing problem and my food stacks in my esophagus. I am coping 😀

I think @dheavner 's problem is probably a bacteria one and needs testing as others have said. My brother had c-diff and it is hard to get rid of.. hopefully that is not dheavner's problem.

Thanks Colleen
I am using Ascarbose with meals to prevent the blood sugar drops when dumping starts quickly after eating I lay flat.. I eat low fodmap, gluten free, no added sugar and had to cut out fruits
I also have SIBO with Constipation
The other strange thing is that I don’t have diarrhea with the dumping
The question is I the SIBO causing dumping, or dumping causing SIBO
I am seeing a local motility expert soon and scheduled with the Mayo Motility Clinic in March
I am tired and weary but thankful for the care that n place coming up!

Hello dianais,

This is what I found online as far as side effects. Hopefully this helps....

Preservision Areds 2 Side Effects

When taken as directed, multivitamins and minerals are not expected to cause serious side effects. Common side effects may include:

upset stomach;
headache; or
unusual or unpleasant taste in your mouth.

Vitamin and mineral supplements can interact with certain medications, or affect how medications work in your body. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using multivitamins and minerals with any other medications, especially:

tretinoin or isotretinoin;
an antacid;
an antibiotic;
a diuretic or "water pill";
heart or blood pressure medications;
a sulfa drug; or
NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)--ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others.

thanks for info. husband takes multivitamins and 10mg of blood pressure . the gas and BM's seems to be increasing. Will ask and show his doctor again.

Stay on them. Sometimes they dont keep track of what can give side effects like that. Good luck.

What is the supplement you took. I do have a h pylori problem

How did your appointment go? I was diagnosed with dumping syndrome at Mayo in Rochester MN years ago. I am now being told that they think I also have SIBO. As a side note I also have chronic pancreatitis and Hypothyroidism that are out of control at this time. Thanks

Has anyone ever suffered with this condition? My stomach empties too fast. I’ve been diagnosed recently with it. I’ve suffered awhile with chronic nausea and dry heaves. It’s horrible to go from one test to another. I also suffer with anxiety and depression. Now adding this to my overwhelming worries and meds. So many things and rules. Also not sure if I have a UTI, was tested. Most was negative and one was a little off. They feel it could be a start to an infection. Put on amoxicillin just in case. Which can add to nausea. Feeling more upset. Thank you.
