My nose gets insanely runny when I have pouch issues, too... every time I've thrown up, it'e been preceeded by a major nose-run. SOMETIMES the nose gets runny and I DON'T end up throwing up up-- usually if I notice it starting, I immediately stop eating because I know what usually comes next.
Also, I might be wrong on this (and if so, someone please tell me), but I think throwing up and dumping aren't necessarily the same thing... I was under the impression that dumping is an adverse reaction to WHAT you eat-- i.e., fatty food, sugary food, etc. These foods give the symptoms of extreme fatigue, diarrhea, dizziness, etc., not necessarily throwing up. The OTHER pouch issue is when you eat too much and/or don't chew enough, and the food has nowhere to go but up-- that's what happens to me when I throw up, but I didn't think that was considered "dumping."
