Question:
Why am I dumping all of a sudden from eating blueberries when I was fine before?

Every day, i have a whey protein shake. I usually put some bluberries on it to make it taste a little bit better. Im always fine whenever I do this. This time ten or fifteen minutes after I drank it, I felt as if their were fireworks in my intestines. I had dumping once but after i was fine. I know dumping is usually caused from sugar, but why am I dumping from the bluberries all of a sudden?    — Manal (posted on January 15, 2009)

Fructose is natural sugar. I have dumped after eating too much of it (pineapple) before. I can eat something for days and get in a routine and then day dumb, eating the same thing for weeks. It happens. Crazy new pouch!!

Blueberries are fiber. Fruit also has pectin. So more than likely you are dumping because of excess fiber in your digestive tract. Try a blueberry yogurt as a substitute; you will get the protein and no too much fiber. Good luck and God Bless, vinnigirl, retired RN

Could have been a bad day or sometimes... If I eat too soon after carbs I will dump because it's not all out of my system yet! I became lactose intolerant almost immediately...and I would dump from high sugar fruits too...Like cherries! I gotta limit those! But I also just recently became allergic or intolerable of some fake sweeteners and sugar alcohols...So don't give up on blueberries just yet...It might be something else or a combo....Try them another day and see if they still bug you...You might try cutting your serving in half to see if maybe you just gotta a little heavy on the blueberries. (might want to measure them!) PS: I'm from EBNJ!
