Can carrots make you dump?

I had some at work, didn't even think it would make me sick, but I feel so sick now and my tummy hurts and my heart was racing and it also made me gassy. What could it be? I had like 2 oz of baby carrots. Now I'm at home lying in bed and I so regret eating those darn carrots!

Were these raw carrots? Or were they canned? 

If they were canned, soem canned carrots have sugar-added syrup and that could make you dump.

If they were raw, a lot of folks have issues with carrots getting stuck, and getting stuck can give you an elevated heart rate and make you feel pretty awful.

I wouldn't pronounce it dumping without further information.

But whatever it was, I'd avoid in the future

Unprocessed carrots would not  cause dumping, but I could not eat raw carrots by themselves for well over a year.  I was fine if I ate them with something else, but the raw carrots alone made my pouch hurt and gave me gas.  No heart racing, though...

They were raw baby carrots. Yeah, the heart racing finally stopped, but it could've been me just panicking cause my stomach felt like crap. As soon as I got home I laid down and (sorry if TMI) passed gas and felt soooo much better. Never again though! I learned my lesson.

I think it depends on you darlin!  I had a frosted sugar cookie on an empty stomach today no problems except I had to bring it when I hit the gym today! Sometimes I wish I dumped.

Probably stuck. I've felt terrible and only have thrown-up once since my surgery 10 months ago and it was after eating raw baby carrots. I felt terrible for 4 hours. I don't even like carrots, was eating them to be healthy.
Good luck,

I am 6 weeks post-op. I attended a Bridal shower and I ate four baby carrots with two tsp ranch sour cream dip. Within 30 min. I was dumping. I dont know which made me sick the carrots or the dip. 

Either way I was pissed that I ate semi-healthy and didnt eat the cupcakes and still ended up with dumping.It was not the full blown , break out in sweat dumping but it sure was dumping. After it was over I was immediately exhausted. I slept for 1.5 hours.

This is not dumping.   This is you not being able to digest raw carrots yet.   

Dumping is when you eat too much sugar - the cupcakes might have done it but definitely not the carrots and ranch dip!!!!

I was so lost when I saw this in my mail, cause I totally had forgotten about this post. Yeah, I can eat them now, but I have to be careful. They still cause me discomfort. But I can eat a lot more normally now than I did a year ago. I'd stay away from new foods while out. Eat them at home to see how your body will react. Better to have an episode at home than when at a party or restaurant.
