Crystal,

When you dumped on the sf ice cream and/or other things, had you been able to have those things numerous times before without dumping and then had an issue? That's what happened to me and both confused and concerned me. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells because I don't know when it might happen again and what might trigger it.

I have had issues with food comas, where you feel awful, then get sleepy and literally sleep off the effects of the food you consumed. I've dealt with foamies when you eat something that gets stuck. I've eaten too much, too fast and felt awful and thrown up, but I've never, ever had THIS happen. I had a little less than 1/4 cup of coarsely chopped walnuts and OMG!!! I started feeling uncomfortable, it went from uncomfortable to awful. I was at an ATM machine and nearly passed out. I got to the restroom just in time. I never thought I'd die, but I was clammy, shakey, cramping, and having terrible diareah. From start to fini**** was about 45 minutes, but the really rough ride was about 15 to 20 minutes. Afterwards, I was really tired, but started to feel more 'normal.'

Nuts have been a staple for me, a common snack that I've had several times a week. I normally have peanuts, almonds, pecans or once in a while walnuts, but I've never had anything like this happen. It may be a while before I try them again. I'm not sure why this was a problem. I had higher fat items before and I've had a higher sugar items before without incident. I have to say that it was pretty un-nerving. I would have understood it better if I had been messing around with candy or something else more treacherous. I guess this requires a really long-term learning curve and when you think you've got it down, you just might be surprised.
