Is it just me...
Yep, Donna, ice cream does NOT sit well any more. I start to feel light-headed and sick, and pretty soon I'll be in the outhouse :-) I don't have the same trouble with other milky foods, but ice cream does it to me ... thank goodness, or I'd eat more of it!

I have the exact, same thing. I can drink milk, eat yogurt, cottage cheese, any cheese- no problem. I eat chocolate, cake, cookies- no problem. Now, put the two together as in a full fat and sugared ice cream, and I have severe dumping, Coldstone's is the worst. Maybe the combination of the two just pushes us over our threshold. There are some sweets that if I eat too much will make me nauseous as well.
Coldstone did it to me too - the only time other than early post-op, when I was learning not to overeat, that I was well and truly sick after a meal. Strong stomach pain, sweat, shallow breathing, nausea, etc. I had maybe 1/2 scoop and it did have some mix-ins, probably some peanut butter cups or something. Was dessert after 1/2 slice of pizza for a celebratory dinner of sorts.
I had to go home right quick, lie down in bed for about 2 hours before I felt human again.
I usually make sugar free ice cream or frozen yogurt for myself at home and eat that with no problem at all. No problem with other dairy either, and I suspect it was the lethal combination of fats and sugars that did it to me.

It could still be lactose intolerance, just a mild form. I can eat 1/2 a cup of ice cream but more than that and I get all crampy. The same thing happens if I have more than a few oz. of milk. But I can do cheese and yogurt and protein shakes just fine.
