increased sensitivity to sugar?
Recently, though, I've had a few instances where I've eaten the same things I usually tolerate and had what I would describe as minor dumping symptoms. This morning I ate one of the protein bars I eat often and almost as soon as I'd finished it I had to run to the bathroom to throw up and I was shaking and sweating and my heart was beating too fast.
So I guess I need to admit that I can no longer tolerate as much sugar as I could before. But has anyone else had that happen? I've read that some people dump early out and then stop dumping as they get further out. But dumping getting worse? Why would that happen?

Try eating that same bar today, later in the afternoon and see if it has the same effect?
I find that I tend to tolerate small amounts of sugar too, like 15 grms at a time, like once I ate 2 bites of cake with out the icing cause someone said the icing was terrible, and I was fine. Then I ate 2 bites of cake 2 weeks later at another wedding, with the icing, seriously thought I was going to have to leave the wedding. So the concentration levels of the sugar played a factor for me. The icing was just too much. Maybe that bar has the sugar more concentrated in one part of the bar so it hits you faster. Does that make sense? Like is there an icing on the bar, or chucks of something that contains the sugar, but the rest is sugar free.
Those are the only things I can think of.

I'm going to make sure from now on the my first meal of the day is very low in sugar. If I choose to do a protein bar with more than a couple grams of sugar, I will do it later in the day. But I think I'm going to mostly focus on finding some bars I like with less sugar in them. Part of the problem I'm having is that some bars are so high in calories. I went to Vitamin Shoppe last night to buy some different ones to try and of course a lot of them are very high in sugar so they weren't options and then some that only had a gram or two of sugar were 300 calories or more. Some were closer to 400 calories. Good grief. I guess if you're body building maybe you want that but I would rather my protein bars be more like 200 calories.

I don't know what would cause you to dump on something you have previously been able to handle.
Sometimes just the act of throwing up will cause the shaking, sweating and rapid heartbeat. Some of those protein bars are very dense and maybe you ate it a little faster than usual
Or, maybe you are coming down with something that is making you more sensitive. Be careful.
