Symptoms: You should discuss these symptoms with your doctor. There are some endocrine syndromes which can cause this kind of thing and are worth considering.

Check that thyroid!: RAPID TRANSIT of food from the stomach or "dumping" can occur when the MOTILITY of the bowel is too high!!Its not taking a "shortcut" (By Pass Surgery) its SPEEDING down the "regular route"!!! Ask your Endocrinologist about this possibility and ask your Primary Care Provider to recommend a Gastroenterologist who does MOTILITY studies! Hope this helps DrZ
