Oh dear Lord.. I thought I was going to faint when I ate regular chocolate ice cream and a chocolate chip cookie.. I've been slowly experimenting with sugar .. Why I don't know. I try to stay sugar free, but ice cream is my weakness!! Anyone recommended a easier way to enjoy some yummy ice cream.. Minus the dumping.

I've had a little bit of the Breyers "carb smart" ice cream with no trouble. It's very low in sugar.

I too am an ice cream fanatic, frozen yogurt is pretty good, but I found Sunkist fruit bars are GREAT especially the coconut. It's absolutely delish! It only has 16 grms of sugar, so no dumping. I try to keep the grams of sugar under 20 &it seems to keep the nasty symptoms away. Hope this helps.

Peace,

Mary

I saw something awesome on Rachel Ray yesterday. She froze bananas then puréed it with milk and it looked just like ice cream, and she claims it tastes like it too especially when you put toppings on it. I'm going to try it when I can have fruit.

It does!! I made this all the time before surgery. An it doesn't have a strong banana flavor. If you put a little vanilla extract in it, it actually tastes like vanilla. I'm just concerned because bananas have a TON of sugar in them. I know it's a different kind of sugar but it still makes me nervous.

I know the feeling. Pregnancy cravings convinced me that I would just love to have some Choc chip cookie dough ice cream w/Choc syrup. I will never ever do that again. My heart started racing, shortness of breath, chest pains, sweating. I thought I was going to die. I'm now afraid of ice cream lol

I have a banana in my Protein smoothie and have had no dumping. I use it for the added potassium because I never want the iv potassium ever again.

I have been very lucky and haven't dumped on sugar yet. I don't avoid sugar but I limit it. I'll either have 'no sugar added' ice cream or just a very small amount of regular. Skinny Cow makes good ice cream too. I can't stand the taste of fake sugars like Splenda. So I stay away from diet drinks. I use regular sugar in my coffee.
