Question:
Do you think you dump worse at different times than others on the same kind of food?

I'll admit up front that I have eaten things that I shouldn't, and I'm aware of that so NO FLAMING please! So here's the point - I ate a Krispy Kreme donut Monday with no ill side effects. Yesterday, I ate 1 tablespoon of jelly on a biscuit, and dumped terribly (major nausea, had to poo immediately). I thought, surely I didn't dump on that smidgen of sugar. So last night I ate one chocolate chip cookie, and I'll be darned if the same thing didn't happen again! (Which, by the way, I'm VERY GLAD that my dump-o-meter is working. It will help keep me in line!) Anyways, I have eaten up to three of those chocolate chip cookies before with no ill effects! I wonder why I am MORE sensitive right now than at other times? Any thoughts?    — raye (posted on February 8, 2004)

Did you eat each of these things on an empty stomach? I'm more bothered by dump-causing foods if I eat them on an empty stomach. Also, I dump worse on white flour products(pastas, rice, etc) than I do on sugary foods. So if I had eaten the jelly on the biscuit - I would have dumped on it, too. So maybe it's not the timing as much as the food itself?

Maybe your "dump-o-meter" was stuck before ! LOL Sorry could not help myself. I dump on oddball things every once and while. Like a protien bars. Or milk gets me if it is warm. And regular food as well. I was told alot has to do with the rate that it enters the intestines, and the body is trying to adjust. I had VBGB so my food enters slower and more broke up then RNY. ( I dont want flaming emails either--VBGB it is just like RNY only it has a band around the upper part of pouch and it is trans-sected as well)So if I drink to soon after eating I could get dumping effect as well.

It's been my experience that I dump more easily on an empty system (first thing in the morning or after fasting longer than 4 hours). And yup, something get me faster than others. Syrup gets my BIG time on waffles, but not on french toast. Go figure.
