Dumping syndrome question

I am 7 weeks post NF. I've done really well after surgery except for a bout of esophageal spasms which I seem to be able to control thru diet. But I seem to have developed what I assume is the dumping syndrome that ice heard others mention. Can someone tell me what causes this & if there is anything to lessen the frequency of it happening? It doesn't seem to be as closely related to diet as I found the esophageal spasms. Thanks - any input is appreciated.

I am over a year post NF. I also had dumping syndrome. Mine occurred every day for the first month then gradually subsided to every other day then one per week. I rarely get it now. It just takes time so try to be patient. I found that baked goods like pies and sugar in general made it worse. I didn't take any medication for it because I knew that it was temporary.

Hi Life is Good,

I also had dumping syndrome.  As Bill said, it's common with stomach surgery.  I found I got it whenever I ate something that irritated my wrap.  However, One Day at a Time is right about sweets triggering dumping syndrome.  I more episodes early on, then they gradually became fewer and fewer.  They continued through the first year (seldom) and figured it was a quirk I'd have to live with.  Then sometime in the second year I suddenly realized I wasn't having it at all.  That's why I always say I continued to see improvement into the second year post-op.

Here's a link to an anti-dumping diet:
