Dumping Syndrome
Dumping Syndrome is a very unpleasant phenomenon that occurs to most post-op RNY patients when they eat sugar. (Although the syndrome can occur with other foods as well if your body decides it can not tolerate that particular food). While dumping you will feel extremely nauseous, lightheaded, abdominal cramping and could possibly vomit and/or pass out.
It is caused by the fact that your food now bypasses most of the stomach (without being digested and dilluted by stomach bile) and bypasses a small portion of the intestines...entering directly into the jejunum portion of the intestines. This portion of your intestines is very sensitive, especially to stretching. Patients have even been known to react on the table under anesthesia when the jejunum is stretched!
When the sugars hit your jejunum, your body recognizes the high concentration and tries to get rid of it by pulling water from the rest of your body and dumping it into the jejunum to rinse it through. This, however, causes the the jejunum to stretch with all the extra fluids and causes the dumping syndrome.
There is nothing you can do to relieve the dumping syndrome other than just to ride it out (and avoid it in the first place!). That is why it is very important to not try new foods in public.....dumping is miserable and can only be that much worse in a place where you can not lay down and ride it out!

I have no idea what the ''biles'' is. Do you mean bowels?
Dumping syndrome is a side effect of gastric bypass. You have altered your intestines completely so nothing works normally now.
Follow the prescribed diet properly, be careful with the volume you eat. I am sure your surgeon gave you hints on how to manage it. Better to eat small quantities frequently than fewer larger meals.

I believe your best resource might be the clinic/hospital that performed the gastric bypass survery.
