I had my gallbladder surgery about 15 years ago as an emergency procedure. Since I was in my twenties at the time, they misdiagnosed it until I was jaundiced, dehydrated and had a seriously inflamed pancreas.

I suffered the "dumping syndrome" quite a bit, and as a previous poster said, it will get better. It slowly got better for me over a period of about a year. Sorry, but that's the truth. (I was slow to figure out the food/dumping connection.) I still have an occasional issue, but only a couple of times a year now.

One thing I have noticed is the fatty and fried foods connection. Stay with me here for a minute...I know you think it's okay for you to eat anything in the evening, but I have found that meals can "build". I might have a fatty meal and not feel it until the next day or I might feel it immediately. So, try an elimination diet for a couple of weeks. Avoid all foods you have reacted to and see what happens. Your breakfast issues might be related to the night before.

We have some really great Lactose free milk in our supermarket and that helps as well.

Hugs Sweetie! Been there and done that. Yes, it was a real problem for awhile, but I am personally very glad to be alive and pain free.
