This morning, I had one egg. Later, I had half of a premier protein drink, then a few hours later, I took half of an Atkins protein bar, and right after, I had horrible cramps, and then came dizziness and diarrhea... :-/ so I thought: dumping syndrome? But then I thought isn't the dumping syndrome when you have a lot of sugar? And the Atkins bar tastes very sweet but only has 1g of sugar :-/

That happened to me a little in the beginning. Not so much dizziness, but after eating certain things I would get the stomach grumbles and have to get to the bathroom. I think it is just your new stomach getting used to things.

Possibly the fake sugar!?

That happened to me a lot in the beginning. It was usually sugar or fat. I drank a sugar free lemon tea with honey and that triggered of because there was dry honey powder in it. Anything too greasy (ground meat, chicken cooked in a crock pot) would trigger it too. Don't worry though; it does get better. The farther out you get the more your new tummy can tolerate.

Its definitely the sugar alchols in the Atkins bars. I didn't the Atkins Induction diet last feb for 4 wks. Ate 1 to 2 Atkins bars a day. Any more than 1 and I had tummy troubles.

As for the dumping: my dr says that sleevers don't have dumping Ithat it comes from bypass when ur body doesn't absorb nutrients). That being said, every single time (I'm a slow learner) I try ice cream I get bad stomach cramps and diarrhea. Not sure if its dumping or what (my dr would argue) but whatever it is, its not worth it. A few wks ago I noticed myself bargaining with God if He got me thru it, Id never eat ice cream again. Not unlike drinking too much at 18 yr old....

But I do know that Atkins bars (which r very good) cause cramping....

Thanks! After how I felt, I don't even want to try another one of my Atkins bar!

This can also be how a gallbladder attack feels so keep an eye on it if you still have yours.

I'm 4 1/2 months out now and I have an atkins bar every morning for Breakfast. They don't give me any trouble. Like I said, in the beginning I definitely would have had to be near a bathroom! It gets better!

It sounds like you could be lactose intolerant. Ice cream was the first thing that I ate that triggered cramps and diarrhea (I've been lactose intolerant for 3 year). Then I started noticing more and more dairy products hurt me. Now I have to completely avoid dairy. The pain is terrible!

I have dumping after a 3 net carb atkins bar ugh. 2 and a half years out from bypass.

I had an egg for the first time as well today. Had to go to bathroom several times afterwards.
