Dumping Syndrome

Posted by judithbramson12 @judithbramson12, Sep 1, 2023

Has anyone gone through the “dumping” and if so, how did you handle it? All of a sudden I’m dumping and now diarrhea after I eat breakfast. I’m doing all the right things, but I can’t seem to put it right. All I want are regular BMs which will allow some weight gain. Interesting that I’m not losing, but cannot gain. Just STUCK! Any information would be more than welcomed. I did stop the Imodium AD. Maybe that was a mistake.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

I would go back on the Imodium AD. I have been on it for almost a year. I only get dumping in the morning but it’s not watery like it was initially after my whipple. I am going to try taking Imodium right away when I get up to see if I can stop it.
I am thinking I will be on Imodium AD for life. Wondering what others have experienced.

Thank you for responding. I kind of thought that was the way to go. Your reply gives me hope and encouragement.😊

P.S. I took it at 7am and didn’t/haven’t dumped so far. It’s usually in the am, so I’m hopeful.
