I'm getting over a bout of stomach flu which has left me a bit weak. I need to replace my bacteria in the colon and so had some SF yogurt, but DUMPED big time. I'm not used to dumping AT ALL!! So this came as a big suprise to me. Tried it yesterday and again today...same result. Anyone else have experience with increased tendancy to dump after an illness? Pat

yogurt has been the only thing I truly have "dumped" on eating. But as I am 12 months out now... my tummy is larger and has more to to maneuver the problem... I take vitamins or minerals or whatever they are that contain bacteria for the colon... Also you might want to try to kefir... it is pretty good.... cabbage has good juices, though not bacteria like dairy. Acidopholis, Bifodopholis and such..

I dum more now at 2 years out than I did at one year. I just chalked it up to my not being as careful with food choices. Maybe your illness is causing the dumping. Do you normally dump on certain foods even whn you are not sick?

No, I really didn't have a problem with dumping until this bout with the flu. Now I'm being pretty careful, but I dumped last night and am dumping again tonight. I'm not going to be able to eat ANY carbs at night if this keeps up....not even a piece of fruit At least tonight seems to be a mild dump....last night I was back to :barfl I'm sorry to hear others are having problems too and yet in the same breath heartened to know I don't seem to be alone in this problem. Thanks! Pat

I don't know about after an illness, but I dump more now at two years out than I did in the beginning. ????? I am careful, and the things that make me dump are things (sugar free, even) that I have eaten alot before. I find it is in the evenings, though, that is the worst. If I am going to have ANYTHING carby, it has to be before 3-4 o'clock. Weird.

Wow, you are right!!! It is in the evenings!! I dumped hard on a protein drink last night and am dumping right now. I seem to be able to eat about 3-4 oz of food at night, but if I go beyond tha****ch out. Didn't have the trouble until I had the flu earlier this week. Now its a relearning process. Thanks for the insight. I'm going to have to moderate much more closely! I watch my carbs as it is, but no fruit at night for me! Pat
