To help with the dumping syndrome keep a journal of what you eat and drink and note when you have symptoms. It helps figure out what your gut is sensitive to. Some foods .. and being we are all different, the foods are different that affect us .. can cause or add to the dumping. The biggest culprits for most are greasy foods, sugars, and sugar substitutes. One of the best helps to me and others was to eat probiotic foods (yogurt, kefir, etc ..) or take a probiotic supplement. I cannot eat much so opted for a supplement. It may take a bit of time and money to find the right supplement for you .. give each one at least a two week try. I tried five or six and Align is my probiotic supplement. Some supplements caused me to be bloated and uncomfortable. Some people like to use a prebiotic too, but most people get enough of it in their regular diet. You can easily find lists for probiotic and prebiotic foods on the internet. It is not a cure, but helps. I had to eventually have a gastric bypass to take care of my giant hiatal hernia. I still have dumping days, but now my bowel movements are not as frequent and are not liquid very often. I can now have morning appointments without worry. I still pay close attention to what I eat. Tis the season for sweets and fats. I will eat a little .. very little of them.
