[toasty 371]

Dumping Syndrome. Pure and simple. The maple and brown sugar. Some of the symptoms of dumping are lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, cramps, etc. The symptoms are actually very similar to hypoglycemia.

Don't do sugar!

Oh wow Thanks!! It didn't hurt thank god but definitely very sleepy! My nutritionist approved that too!! Maybe I will stick just to the original and banana bread not sure if the cinnamon kind would do that?

Are you eating the regular flavored oatmeal or the weight control? I'm pretty sure the weight control has almost no sugar per serving.

Weight control banana nut bread fine but maple not good for me

I have had two episodes of dumping syndrome, but it is not good! :huh:

The last time was right before Halloween! I do not reccomend trying cashew "ice cream" even 1/4 of a cup.......

I had terrible vomitting (with nothing in pouch), dizziness, sweating, abdominal cramping, and diarehha and overall feeling of death. It lasted about 4 hours?

On a positive note- I knew that trying halloween candy was out of the question!

[sarahbethemails 68]

Oh no!! Definitely no ice cream Lol haha well thank god I did not have that type of dumping!!!

I am slightly torn between being happy I have not dumped and being irritated that it doesn't happen.

I have had many things (small bites, small pieces, nothing extreme) that would have caused dumping and didn't.

Does that mean it will never happen? No. Does it mean I can eat anything I want? Just because I can doesn't mean I should.

It also always amazing to me what has made people dump and what others have no reaction to at all.

1/4 cup of the cashew "ice cream" I had was 8g of sugar similar to light and fit Greek yogurt that doesn't affect me... Never know!

I am kinda glad I get dumping syndrome, but when it happens it sucks!
