I have started sweating after eating. Anyone else?
I am soon to be 69 years old and have started sweating after I eat. It's as if I'm having a big and extended hot flash. I have been doing this close to a year. I'm wondering if my bidy is telling me something.
Some background:
I had gastric bypass surgery 3+ years ago
I have type 2 diabetes, 6.6 A1c
I have back problems
Meds: Tramadol, Valsartan, Levothyroxin, Glipizide, Lantus Insulin
If you have these symptoms, what have you done that helps or stops these heat waves after eating, please share what you know.

1 ReactionA lot of things could cause this. But I recommend that you do a diary of what you are eating and see if some foods make you sweat more than others. This happened to me before I realized that I was intolerant of foods with histamine in them. Good Luck.

I committed on here before. Things have changed for me. I switched to Keto ! It's perfect for me. I lost 10lbs. My blood sugar has only dropped 1 time in 7 months. Also I don't get stomachaches or indigestion unless I eat sugar, carbs or over eat. You may think you didn't eat to much, but it takes the brain 20 min. to register that your full. So I have found putting the proper amount on my plate and not going back for more has eleminated getting the seats. If you sweating after eating you are over filling your pouch ! I have learned this after years of trial and error over 14 years of a gastric bypass. I hope this help some of you !
Sweating in this case is your body’s response to increased blood sugar. Smaller portions, eat less but more frequently so you have a steady blood sugar level and it is not peaking/spiking. This also causes other damage I.E. kidney, eyes, nerves, etc.
Low blood sugar can cause sweating too, some get it following exercise or during sleep.
