I had my gallbladder out in 2019. I think I now have dumping syndrome. Sometimes it happens no matter what I eat, but mostly it happens when I eat anything that’s greasy, fatty, sugary, caffeine, also alcohol really messes me up for days. It usually happens either after breakfast or lunch, and most of the time only once a day. My dr gave me Cholestyramine, which helps, but it constipates me and doesn’t help completely. I still get the racing heart, anxiety, irritability etc, and I also usually still have a bowel movement, it’s just not diarrhea like normal. I don’t think that really treat’s dumping syndrome, so I’m thinking about asking my pcp for a referral to a gastroenterologist. This negatively affects my every day life. I’ve been dealing with this for so long, and at this point, I really need something to work better for me.

We live in northwest Arkansas. We don’t want to fly, and a 16+ hour trip will be a nightmare with 3 kids. Any halfway points that are fun and family friendly? Thanks!!

It’s a bit embarrassing. Does anyone else have burning when urinating right before their period? I’m not asking for advice, I’m just curious if anyone else has noticed this? It happened before I was on birth control as a teen, now that I’m not on anything and done having kids, it’s come back, but worse. Drs. used to tell me it’s a UTI, but there’s no way. It happens every time my period is about to start. I stopped asking my drs about it because they would just say to drink more water and or go back on birth control since that helped. I just want to know if I’m alone in this or if I’m just crazy.

I’m 32F. I’ve had burning when urinating and shortly after as well, before my period starts. I remember this happened a lot as a teen when I was on the combination pill. I’ve been pregnant or breastfeeding pretty much my entire adulthood, so since I’m almost 3 years PP, I guess it has returned. Im not in any birth control now. I had a uterine ablation in April 2025. It’s happening right now, and my period is due to start in a week. I don’t have any other symptoms.
