question about things that expand in your tummy

[ash 5]

I know it's white rice and things like that, but what about dumplings? Not sure what they are made out of.

What kind of dumplings? Like chicken and dumplings, or chinese dumplings?

Chicken and dumplings - the dumplings are typically made from biscuits which can expand in the tummy, or from a self-rising white flour/water mixture.

Chinese dumplings - I don't know what they are made out of, but I'm sure it's some type of dough.

I can eat about 1/3 of an eggroll including the outershell, and 1/2 of the inside of one without the outershell. I've eaten tiny bites of biscuit with a bit of gravy, and did just fine.

Oh sorry, I meant chinese dumplings. I had 4 (they were pretty small) with NO pain or discomfort. I'm in the soft food stage and this is the first thing I've tried that didn't give me some kind of pain! Problem is, I'd love to eat the other 4.

I thought all dumplings, Chinese included, were made mostly from flour. Pretty much anything with flour seems to get in the tummy and expand, at least for me it does.

I also think they are not complex carbs, but the kind that are digested quickly, like sugar. I wonder if they would cause a rebound hunger an hour later. I'm going to try to stay away from white carbs, which is something I've had to do all my life. If I look at bread, I gain a pound! Same with corn, peas, etc. When I crave carbs, I go for Beans, which are acomplex carb and high in Protein.< /p>

Unfortunately, I have not had a problem eating ANYTHING, which could be very bad. Went to a friend's for dinner last night and had 3 small sweet potato fries, a few bites of salad, and some grilled chicken. I left a lot on my plate and wanted to eat more. But, I couldn't and I'm glad about that!
