Another poll question: Do you dump?

LOL UMMM I don't think so. Have gotten sick so much since the surgery I couldn't tell you if it was dumping, the hernia, the stricture times 2 or the ulcer. Nothing makes me feel bad as far as what I eat so I am going to say no.

Hmmm, not really. Sugar does nothing for me (I don't indulge often) so I can eat something sweet and nothing happens. There are things I can't handle well like bbq(I get the foamies almost every time). I can' t do bacon but I don't consider that dumping. I've never had the feeling of shakes and heart palpitations, etc. I thought I dumped long, long ago on something with sugar alcohols but I think that was a fluke because I just wasn't feeling good that day. Sugar alc. don't bother me.

yes I have dumped 3 times all of which were on sugar free sweets with a ton of sugar alc. I get the rapid heart beats, sweating, and very nauseous(sp) feeling. I have to just lay down its so bad. High fat content doesnt seem to bother me and I havent tried reg high sugar items. Candy

Fruit, carrots and tomatoes still make me dump - intense stomach pain followed by an immediate case of raging diahrrea, which usually lasts for a couple of hours. I have not tried anything with refined sugar or more than 5 grms of sugar alcs.

Yes, I believe I dump, although I haven't really pushed the issue. My only experience has been with 2 oz of baked beans early out. I ate them, knowing the sugar content but thinking such a small amount would be okay, and about 10-15 minutes later starting feeling really.... weird. Can't describe it, very spacy, heart beating rapidly, clammy, etc. About 20 minutes after THAT started, the rumbling started and about 10 minutes after THAT I wound up on the ejecting said offensive foods. I've also had problems with adding any amount of sugar (even just a couple of grams) to milk. Similar reaction, but not as severe. Makes me wanna sleep. Beyond that, I haven't eaten anyting with more than a few grams of sugar. I haven't tried anything deep fried, so I don't know about fats, and keep my carbs fairly low, as well. I don't seem to have a problem with sugar-alcohols, though, as I do treat myself occasionally to a SF cookie or something like that.

I have not had dumping...but have not eaten any sweets or high fat items. I don't want the experience. I have gotten some diareah from diet pepsi slurpee from 7-11. I think it was because I had a large one! Sue McD

I don't dump at all. If I feel sick after eating it is usually from eating too fast. I haven't noticed any certain foods affecting me in a "dumping" sort of way.
