Dumping, or something else? (Possible TMI for the squeamish)

THAT was sugar alcohols in action...

Have you ever read the Amazon reviews for sugar free gummy bears? There is one that a tear-inducingly funny. 

I always say that sugar free gummy bears make a great gift for non-sugar eating people that you hate. 

Edited for typos

Last year I had a miserable cold. Tried to control coughing with sugar free ricola. Helped with the cough and then it hit. I was at work. Had to put an out of order sign on the restroom to assure access and did not leave the vicinity for a few hours. Staff suggested I head home. That did not seem prudent. This is before surgery. Everyone on staff knew of my travails. At a younger age, I would have been mortified. Ricola is now my sworn enemy. 

I am now avoiding anything rice for the rest of my life.  I just had an episode that lasted for 2 months that stemmed from consuming a "high protein" cheese curl (which was made from rice).  I had a blockage (I didn't realize it was a blockage) which ultimately rendered me unable to eat or drink anything and having emergency surgery.  Feel much better now, but in my eyes rice is the devil!

Oh geez, I don't blame you! I guess I should just be happy things are moving at all!

Sounds Horrible. I think I came close recently after taking too much iron. I have to agree the opposite experience is better. 

I honestly don't think it was full blown dumping. You're missing some key symptoms such as sweating, chills, abdominal pain, extreme fatigue, etc. Most likely you tested the limits on sugar and carbs....

And my dear, you found it!

No, not dumping. If I have a day with too many carbs, I get a similar reaction.

That'll teach you.

Lesson learned!

I had a similar experience (not quite as dramatic, thankfully) after trying some dried coconut slices. Coupled with the fact that I tried my first cup of coffee that day, too...needless to say: "ugh".
