Sick and Gassy After Sugar

Hey guys,

So, I'm a little over 3 weeks out of surgery and have been really good on my doctor recommended food plan. However, at a birthday party last night, I ate aprox a tablespoon of cake frosting (Strawberry/Pillsbury). I looked it up and it was about 11 g of sugar.

About 2 hours later I suddenly got VERY hungry, like the hungriest I've felt since surgery. I ate about an ounce of egg salad and then went to bed,

Shortly after, I got incredibly bloated and gassy, but unable to pass it easily, plus a little nauseous. I definitely would t call this "dumping" as it was t super severe, but I'm just curious if anyone else has ever had a similar reaction to sugar or if this sounds normal. I will definitely be avoiding sugar for a while. Wow.

Damn, a tablespoon of cake. Thank heaven's it wasn't more since your reaction was so profound! I'm sure it will get better with time. =)

It was a tablespoon of frosting, not cake, I know I can't eat any flour products. Now I know sugar is gonna have to wait too.

I cant tolerate any refined sugar gives me bad diahreah and personally I'm glad I am happy to cut it from my life and have loved researching all the websites with lots of great recipes using raw ingredients.
