Do you or have you dumped? How soon after you have eaten does it kick in? What does it feel like? Symptoms? How long did it last? Is there a particular food or random foods that trigger? I don't know if I have really dumped yet...I think I have had LIGHT dumping. Is that even possible? I ate tooo much of my Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream last night (sinless sugar free (splenda) with raspberries and pie crust. I don't know if it was IBS that kicked in 30-45 mins later or dumping. My tummy was talking to me and it still is. Now I am just gassy (I know you all wanted to know that detail)...but not good for the workplace!

dumping can be damn near any symptom... The other day I saw a commercial for Dunkin dounuts Mocha Iced Cappuchino.. So off I went got one and they don't put sugar into it but the syrup I'm sure is loaded with it.... I started to drink it and not even 20 min later I was dizzy As Anything.... Thank god Cuz I really did not think I could dump anymore and that was very scary to me... The other day went to breakfast with my family and I was eating to fast I think and I had to vomit... Its real neat when you have to vomit in public. my family new What was wrong so I went to the bathroom and usually If you flush the toilet at the same time you have to heave its not too bad ( the sound I mean ) But bob evans has these weird flushing toilets... Thank god I was the only one in the rest room....

Hi there Shannon, I think I have dumped. I ate some regular ice cream when I could not eat anything or keep anything down. I became sweaty and was vomiting like crazy. I cannot eat ice cream unless it is sugar free and fat free. Otherwise I really have not dumped. Have a good day.. Lorraine

Hi Shannon, I don't get sick with anything I eat. I feel so good that it is a little scary I have never dumped and I haven't thrown up in a LONG time. I just know when I've had enough to eat. Happy Magnificent Monday everyone!! Jill

Close call with wine: flushed and felt intensely nauseous, clammy, and shaky. Only had a sip or two, so by the time I reached the bathroom, it had passed. Get a little "dumpy" sometimes when I mix my "megashake" (I can Atkins, 1 scoop GNC powder, 1 cup lo-carb milk- triple protein whammy!) in the A.M., but so far no vomiting. I've come close enough to know I don't want to go all the way, so I avoid sugar like the plague! Donna

Yes, I have dumped.. first time was at Chili's.. I ordered a Margarita and I think the sugar was too much.. felt dizzy and sweaty. This happened within 15 minutes and lasted about 30 minutes. It happened again this morning. I drank a glass of light and lively OJ and did not dilute it with water.. within 15 minutes, nausea, hot flashes... I tried the carbsmart ice cream and I got the same symtoms that you did.. I think it is IBS or Lactose Intolerance. It was nothing like dumping.

NEVER DUMPED I thought I did at first, but now realize I don't.....Now I just need to work harder to stay away from all the crap!!! Jesi

I've never dumped but I haven't tested the limits much either. I don't try anything with more than 12 gr. of sugar in it and I eat nothing fried. I did accidentally eat the wrong yogurt once though and it had around 30 gr. of sugar and I didn't dump. I'm sometimes amazed at how easy this is to stick to though I don't vary my "diet" a lot. I don't intend to do any "testing" till I'm at goal and stablized. Jenni -84 5 mo. anniversary tomorrow!
