I dumped on a banana smoothie today

So for breakfast today, I was going to be healthy because I wanted the bananas, yogurt, and spinach.

Ingredients:

-one full banana

-5 leaves of fresh spinach

-vanilla Activia Yogurt

This was very filling. It took a long time to finish, but it was very tasty. About 5 minutes after I ate, I felt cramps and I immediately took that big dump poop. I could hear the water dumping from my intestines into my bowel. My mouth was producing a lot of saliva, too. So, yeah. There was probably a lot of sugar in my smoothie. Who else has dumped on fruit? Which fruit? So weird- dumping on a healthy food.

I have yet to eat a whole banana. The most I've had is 1/2.

Yeah, that smoothie had a minimum of 24 grams of sugar. That's probably the issue.

One banana has about 14g of sugar. One vanilla activia yogurt has about 17g of sugar. I would dump over about 10g and with it being in a drink it would hit even faster. A substitution for you might be a 1/4 banana with 3/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt with some unsweetened vanilla and Splenda. You would end up with about 6g of sugar total and a lot more protein.

Yum. Sounds good. I never thought of that. I will try it- thanks!

I've had times where I am fine with something and then could have the same thing another day and dump. Its weird.
I've had no problem with bananas though and eat them often.

I think that yogurt may be the culprit though, I have to spend a good amount of time in the yogurt aisle checking all the labels. SO many of them have WAY too much sugar.

This is sooooooo true. I've been fine with this exact smoothie before and then boom I dumped!

I was having smoothies regularly in the morning, till one day, I was using 3 large tablespoons of plain greek yogurt, 4 oz. Ocean Spray Diet juice (10 cal / cup**** and about 1/2 cup of mixed berries. One day there were a few more berries left so I just added them in.

I was drinking on my way to work and about 5 minutes after I finished started getting tummy cramps, the shakes, was on a country road so had to drive a few miles for a safe place to pull over, luckily dumping doesn't give me bowel issues, I sat on the side of the road for a few minutes till I started to feel better, even had someone pull over to see if I was okay...

Took me 4 weeks till I was willing to try another smoothie, haven't had the problem since just really watch the berry measurement.

If I have too much sugar I tend to also develop hypoglycemia as my body starts pumping out insulin to counter the sugar, not something I do to often, but I know it's going to happen and I've learned how to treat effectively.

The tricky part sometimes is knowing which one it is, as I don't take insulin anymore, I stopped carrying my glucometer.

Maybe try 1/2 avocado and 1/4 banana. Avocado will make smoothie creamy and give some healthy fats while cutting down on sugar.

Thank you- sounds yummy :)
