what causes you to "dump"

What causes you to "dump"?

Where to even start the list
bananas, grapes, bbq sauce, ice cream, tim hortons putting sugar instead of splenda etc etc etc.

For me it is the sugar. If it is above 9 grams of sugar I am taking a chance.  Even natural sugar will cause me to dump if I have to much of it and Sugar free Ice cream is the worse for me. I can have a tablespoon and anything more I am in big trouble. I also can not do any deep fried food. Not even a bite of deep fried.  Pasta is a hit and miss along with eggs. the thing is one day you might be able to handle it and another time no way.  I am just very careful but when it happens when I am at work it is not fun.

Barb, I don't think that pasta and eggs are making you "dump" - make you sick, throw up, etc yes, but dumping is pretty much reserved for mostly sugar and (sometimes) fats.

I have only dumped 3 times in 8.5 years. This is mostly due to the fact that I completely gave up refined sugar for the first 7.5 years. Very early out I dumped on a tiny bit of egg salad that had too much mayo mixed in (so the fat in the mayo) and 1/2 cup of vegetable juice that unknowingly had 26g of sugar that I drank at my parents' place having not read the label (who knew? it was veggies!). Since then I had an embarrassing dumping incident at work after eating one sweet and sour rib at a luncheon.  Last year I pretty much gave up artificial sweeteners so I do occasionally have something with a little sugar (like a thin slice of banana bread) and it's been mostly ok, as long as that piece doesn't turn into a not-as-thin slice. I do not add sugar to anything still but I don't stress if I eat something that has a little sugar (like the banana bread). Thankfully I haven't had any issues, but I believe this is simply because I haven't really eaten refined sugar, by choice.

Here is a good read on dumping syndrome from the Mayo Clinic: Dumping syndrome explained

Wow Karen that takes commitment to get rid of artificial and real sugar. If anyone could do it, it would be you .

The refined sugar was incredibly easy. I ate no sweets, no cupcakes, chocolates, cookies, squares... anything that had deliberate refined sugar added to it. No sugar in my coffee... the list goes on. I never avoided some of the things you've dumped on Dawn - BBQ sauce?? Good gawd. Now that I have allowed a VERY low amount of refined sugar back into my diet (at the advice of my liver specialist, who also told me to cut out the artificial chemical crap), I eat pretty much the same. I just do not avoid a small bite of something as a treat. Still no sugar in my coffee.... lol

I wonder if you will continue to dump now that you have been revised. NOT that I think you should test the waters.

I bought a 3lb basket of nectarines.  At the beginning of the week.  They were great - totally delist!! 

At the end of the week when they were at their juiciest... I ended up in bed for 1.5 hours with the spins, and the sweats,  followed by the dry heaves...  

this is the second time I've dumped.   But its a small price to pay to discover what fruits my body can tolerate.   the fibre in the fruits that I can tolerate is making my life soooo much easier.  

Im ok with canned peaches and pears packed in water, and cantaloupe, but honeydew makes me queasy.   I had a handful of cherries yesterday and was fine.  I can eat Granny Smith apples and can't  wait for the new Mac's this fall.  I'm a little scared to try banana ... Will have to get my courage up and try a bit when my daughter cracks one open... (Maybe next week.  Or not) 

So some ripened fruit makes me dump.
