Why does my stomach react to sweet things?

[Tracy46545 6]

I'm grateful for the "mini-dumping" symptoms that I get when I overindulge in ice cream. As long as I keep it to 1/4 cup or less, I'm fine..but if I go over that, I feel miserable. The shakes, the sudden fatigue, nausea...miserable. Like others, it only happens on ultra sweet things, like Ice cream, frosting, brown sugar.

P.S. I'm down 55# since surgeryon Dec 15. I'm happy with that since I haven't been able to exercise at all due to my knee injury.

Wow I had no clue about alcohol. My doctor didn't mention alcohol at all. Are we supposed to avoid it?

I am not a regular drinking and only drink a few times a year but when I drink, lol, well, I DRINK! :tongue_smilie:

I assume that is not something I can do anymore?

What about 1 mixed drink. Would that be OK? I only do mixed drinks.

You can have mixed drinks when you are healed. Just expect to feel it a lot quicker.

Texas T,

I've had the same thing occasionally, but not every time...sometimes I can eat a little something sweet and it does not bother me. Other times I feel "bad" afterwards...hard to describe, I think it's the sugar "high" then the "low". A couple of times it was "dumping" but that was very rare.

Anyway, since I'm not eating sweets very often, it is a rare event and does not worry me.

I do have a lot of gurgling though, no matter what I eat.

I'm in the boat with Oregandaisy...milk products give me the most bathroom issues (1/3 of a small blizzard and I'm in trouble). I have a banana every morning for Breakfast and try to down some diced peaches or applesauce at a snack time to keep me regular...so those sweet items have been okay...

The highest sugar I've tried was the top portion of a homemade cupcake with a thick layer of buttercream frosting and I ate if FAST while cleaning up a 50th birthday party...it was amazingly good but I do not recall any side effects...

Maybe there's some lactose intolerance mixed in there too?
