That is weird for sure. I have never reacted this way before. I am not sure why?

I think I just had my first dumping episode. I was drinking a Protein Shake on my way home from work and all of a sudden my stomach started cramping up big time, my mouth got all watery like I was gonna get sick. I was going to stop at the grocery store, but I mixed that Idea and just headed straight home. I thought I might have to pull over but I made it home.

The weird thing is I have been drinking these shakes since week 2 with no problem. Now I am going to be afraid to drink them again.

Maybe it's time to let them go??? I'm supposed to be, but it's the easiest way to get a good amount of protein right now. You didn't get any other symptoms other than stomach cramps, like about to throw up kind?

I feel like this with the vanilla ones. Too overly sweet for me.

Yes. I thought I was gonna have to pull over and get sick, but it went away after a couple of miles. I did have to hit the bathroom quick

I do know!! ? Lol

I tried to stop the protein shakes, but it is easier to drink one and hit my goal for the day so I started drinking them again.

That's dumping for sure. If you weren't having it before with them, did you maybe drink it too fast? That can bring it on too.

Great?I thought I was gonna be luck and avoid that. I might have drank it too fast like you said.

I guess it's a good problem to have. If you recall I'd did that early on with that giant chewable vitamin and had the dumps. It was awful!! All because I took it fast. I try to be slow now. Sometimes I catch myself going too fast, and I'll feel gross for a while. But not as bad as that first time. Either way, don't want to go that route.

This just started to happen to me

Me too. It sucks because I actually like the chocolate shakes. I will probably try it one more time just to see if it happens again. But I will be sure and drink it slower.
