Random Poll o' the Week: Down in the dumps...

almost four months out and yes im a dumper!! I stay away from sweets but two weeks ago i tryed pecan ice cream..and dumped last night i tryed choc.chip ice cream and i dumped again.
so basically no sweets for me EVER lol

I found out early on.......  we were traveling and I needed pureed options, so I had some applesauce that came with one of my kids children's meals out.  Apparently had some corn syrup going on.  Not fun.

Fats are hit/miss with me.  At home, I do ok -- I eat full fat cheese, real butter, cook with oil.  Eating out on the other hand has lead to some very painful experiences.  I wish I knew what oil was the culprit so I could ask ahead. 

I honestly don't remember when I found out, but I have always dumped on sugar. I certainly never "tested" it early out, but I will own up to having eaten something in the past KNOWING that I will dump - how stupid is that?

Can't remember when I last dumped but I have no doubt that I still do and so now that I am more compliant, I have a list of foods that I don't touch - not even a bite!

We see a ton of posts on here with people saying that they have dumped when they have just got sick, stuck or the trots. If you dump, you will have NO DOUBT - if you are not wishing for death, you are NOT dumping!!!!

Yeah, for some reason, it drives me crazy when people refer to any incident when something did not agree with their altered digestive system as "dumping".  It especially makes me crazy when people say the "dump" on fat, because fat does not cause dumping (which, for any newbies reading this, is a very specific physiological reaction to too much undigested/unprocessed sugar in the lower intestine (which expects sugar to have partially digested by the portion of the intestine that is now bypassed)).

I know that it shouldn't matter to me... but it does.  Calling every kind of digestive upset "dumping" spreads misinformation.

Exactly ...

I don't really dump but I did find out about 6 months out that if I have something too sugar-carby that I get massive carb coma. To the point that I have to nap it off. LOL.

I am capable of dumping, but over time, it's been getting better.

I had a dumping incident in the hospital when I drank apple juice too fast.

Then, I had a dumping incident a few weeks later when I had a portion of a protein bar with sugar alcohols.

I did dump on an ice cream cone a few weeks ago, which is completely my fault for deciding to have it, so I know I can still have an adverse reaction to food.

Well I had just started back to work after my surgery. In Baltimore we call it a Half and Half. The rest of the country knows it as an Arnold Palmer. Half iced tea and half lemonade. I loved them.

So I definitely marched over to my nearest sub shop and got my half and half.

Thought I was going to die. My half and half days were over.

Found I dumped on fat with a pork rind experiment. Not even a good protein source but I didn't know that at the time.

 They sell a diet Arnold Palmer. I just had one the other day. If that doesn't work, mix Crystal Light iced tea and lemonade together. :)

I am a finicky dumper lol
I found out when I had a strawberry shortcake cookie.. nay, TWO strawberry shortcake cookies. It was an impulse grab at Christmas party. I didn't intend to "test" - it was just habit.

Sugar alcohols get me - I thought I was doing great to have Sugar free. wow. not so much lol
