I thought I had dumped before but this was the real thing. I am 18 mos

postop and have never had this happen. I was having one of those "can't eat today" days and was craving something. I had some of the Somersweet crunch dark chocolate bars and so I ate one with some coffee and started working on a project I had. I was stripping the protective coating off of some copper bowls. Wow, I got so sick! I couldn't even finish the project. Started sweating profusely, shaking, light headed, turned pale, and had to go lie down. I went to sleep and slept 4 hours!!! I have never had that happen. I mean the room was spinning and everything. Now it is late and I haven't even started to get ready for work tomorrow. I still feel strange. My question is : at this far postop, why would a no sugar somersweet bar do this? Could it have been the fumes from the stripping compound? The Somersweet bar had 16 g of sugar alcohol but zero sugar. Has this happened to any of you so unexpectedly?
