Dumping Syndrome

As I was reviewing information for a patient I stumbled upon ‘Dumping Syndrome’ (also called rapid gastric emptying). This occurs when the undigested contents of your stomach moves too rapidly into your small bowel (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dumping-syndrome/basics/definition/con-20028034).

Common symptoms are abdominal cramps, nausea and diarrhea. But luckily, it is normally managed by adjusting your diet.
Made me think….how many times do I engage in my version of ‘Dumping Syndrome?’

Dumping my s**t on someone else simply because they are nearby or because I can. Time to adjust my mental diet to manage my dumping syndrome.
