Am I Dumping?

[Meredit 15]

I just ate a two small bites of sugar free whipped cream and a SF Jello and felt faint, weak, shaky, and sweaty, and maybe a little queazy, I am assuming this is dumping... am I right? Now my intestines are mad and making noises. The whipped cream was sugar free but not Fat free- please don't hate on me if this was a mistake, I am just looking for some nice girl advise.

Hmmm...I wouldn't think so. But maybe - I had some "pushing through" once and the Soup was high on fat. I had been eating the reduced fat kind and a regular pouch was mixed in by accident.

I wonder what the others think...

You describe exactly the symptoms I call "dumping." I get it with sugar-fat combination foods, but everybody is different. Even if it wasn't "dumping," it doesn't sound pleasant or like something you want to repeat, am I right? :-) If you hadn't eaten anything before that, try a few bites of yogurt or cottage cheese (some protein) before taking a bite of the jello/topping combo and see if that helps. Hang in there, too--sometimes the stuff that bothers us early on is very well tolerated in a couple of weeks/months.

When you dump, you literally dump the food out of your body. You do have these other symptoms with it, but dumping is exactly what happens. I have had dumping syndrome for over 13 years. Mine is related to having my gallbladder removed. I have been treated with several different drugs over the years, but none of them have stopped it. Mine is not caused or dependent of any kind of diet either. I can drink Water and dump. It comes on within one drink or bite at times. It is very uncomfortable and inconvenient. So let me put your mind at ease. Unless the porcaline throne is becoming your most popular seat in the house, you are not dumping. Thank your lucky stars!
