Hi @celderki07 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll see I moved your comment to a discussion that you already found and participated in so that you could connect with the people talking about the same subject.

I thought you would like some information on dumping syndrome and bad gut:
- Symptoms & Causes of Dumping Syndrome | NIDDK: https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/dumping-syndrome/symptoms-causes
- Dumping Syndrome | Gastrointestinal Society: https://badgut.org/information-centre/a-z-digestive-topics/dumping-syndrome/

How long has this been going on?

I don't fit the usual dumping syndrome patient. I have not had gastric bypass and am not diabetic but have very severe dumping syndrome. It started three years ago when I had a severe gastritis and ended up with colonic inertia. I had a colectomy six months ago and no longer need laxatives but the dumping syndrome is at least as bad and maybe worse. My small intestine works more rapidly than normal as well and the dumping syndrome causes a great deal of roiling, gas, bloat as well. Are there any drugs that can help? It has been six months since my colectomy but this dumping syndrome is still very much controlling my ability to move on with normal living. I've tried all of the usual recommendations about eating and what to eat.
