Yes you do.

Thanks so much............

i think so, yes. it moves into our intestines faster, because there is no pyloric sphincter to control movement of food into the intestines. That's one of the reasons that high fat or high sugar foods cause dumping. Also why we can't drink while eating, it moves the food along faster.

Thanks Monica................Karen is right....that does make sense. Cant believe I forgot that. It is good to see old names still out there and GREAT to see so many new ones !!!! Good luck to  all the newbies......it is the beginning of the rest of your life. It is awesome !!!

all us noobs look to you veterans for inspiration and support. It's wonderful to see people come back here where they know they'll find an answer.

Hi Nancy :)  Yep, still out here. lol

I like Monica's answer.

Yes when I read her answer I remembered. Thanks Karen......take care.

Thanks, Karen. i learned from the best....
