Is this dumping? - ThinnerTimes

Yesterday, I didn't eat much but at the end of the day I took a Flintstone's Vitamin, Liquid Sublingual B-Complex and then my liquid calcium.

When I went to pour the liquid calcium, I accidentally poured a little too much so I quickly put it down, it was probably about 2.75 tablespoons, where I normally take 2. But I downed it like a shooter.

About 15 minutes of a burning sensation, I got this unbelievable deep pain in between my arms. Literally between the two points of my shoulders and across my chest. It was pretty debilitating and was a very bad feeling?

Is this dumping?

How far out from surgery are you? It's possible that you over-filled your pouch, which would cause really uncomfortable sesations down in Pouchie-Town.

Typically, "dumping" is the sensation you get from eating something that's too high in sugar... you feel light-headed, nauseous, cold-sweaty and clammy, your heart races, and you have an overwhelming need to lie down and take a nap-- or have any combination of said symptoms. Dumping sometimes involves throwing up, but not always (not ever, in my case). So what you described doesn't really sound like "dumping" to me, but it does sound similar to an over-full pouch description.
