Is this dumping???

I am 6 years post-op and have never dumped.  Today, I was eating some Delmonte Natural Grapefruit sections which I have eaten before.  After eating 1/2 the cup, I got full and stopped.

45 minutes later, I busted out in a huge sweat, had explosive diarrhea 3 times , had to lay down for 20 minutes then I felt better.

Is this dumping???

Thanks,

Robin

hi robin... i have never dumped myself, but from what i understand, i would say YES!!

Thanks...I thought it was!

Hi Robin:
I am surely not a doctor or an expert, but grapefruit is very fibrous and if you failed to chew it thoroughly I would say it upset your digestion and yes you probably experienced "dumping".....  even at 6 yrs out, we sometimes forget the rules.....also grapefruit is quite acid so that may have contributed to the problem.
Hope you are feeling better now.

Thanks...I eat it all time (fresh and cups) and have never had a problem before.  Maybe it was just a bad RYN day??

I think this far out, and if you eat this all the time it's more likely to be some kind of food poisoning or somthing just "off" with your pouch rather than true dumping from sugar content.

You'll never know for sure, so next time you eat these just take it slow and see if you tolerate it.

Thanks Brenda, I had 2 more and I threw them out, didn't want to take any chances.

I'm glad I read your post Robin.  I love grapefruit, but haven't tried it yet.  Maybe I won't...ever.  Doesn't sound like an experience I want to have anytime soon!

Thanks Jan, I am really not  sure what happen, I eat "fresh" grapefruit all the time and have always been fine.  This time...I ate the grapefruit that comes in a cup by Delmonte.  It does have some sugar which I am not used too.  Maybe it was dumping?? 

It was a terrible feeling and I am glad its over.  Try the fresh first, if its to tart, add some splenda. 

Thanks,

Robin
