Even in five years!! I am so petrified of going through that I have anxiety attacks every time I eat please there must be a stage were it gets better!!!

Does sugar free cause dumping?

It is not expected to cause dumping but that doesn't mean that Sugar Free doesn't have sugar alcohols and those have been known to cause dumping.

I drink sugar free drinks, eat sugar free puddings, popscicles, Jell-O, some ice creams and yogurts; I have never experienced dumping.

And to be fair I've had a few items (very little) that had plain ol' white sugar. No issues. Everyone is different.

I am 2.5 years out. I avoid sweets, ice cream, cakes. I can eat a very small amount of sugar free items but too much and I will be sick. I also have avoided all deep fried items as my doc said that would be a problem. Just eat a few bites and then stop and see if you are ok after 10-15 minutes. That works for me. But don't fret over it. You will figure it out.
