dumping is like that???!? your description of the dumping is a total deja vu for me. it's exactly what my irritable bowel syndrome was like years ago. yeah, it hits ya like, "whaaaooooo!" sorry, didn't mean to be intense. but, yeah, even though i'm skinny as heck and never had these stomach bypass or lapband done, i had that dumping that you described. how weird. yeah, i was diagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome. i had tests done to see if i had digestive disorder in term of nutrient absorption, but it was all normal (could they have been false positive all along?). lol. fortunately, i have this problem very rarely nowadays ever since i have moved. there's no change in the food, but possibly the water? interesting. boy i sure learned something. lol. sorry, i don't mean to hijack the thread. keep going as you needed to.
