Dumping

[NudgieNemo85 3]

Hello fellow Bypassers. This evening before my VFW Auxiliary Meeting I went to our local Rutter's Convenience Store and got the sugar free French vanilla cappachino. Figured it would be a win win for me since I am now on puréed and at that point I was hungry. I dumped for the first time today and it sucked! Hot flashes, red face, emergency running to bathroom diarrhea (sorry tmi!) and I even vomited! Did anyone else experience this with sugar free products before?

I dump with my Protein Shakes if I drink them too fast. It has happened twice...both times was speed of drinking...slowed down, haven't dumped since

Dumping is no fun! Keep in mind that sugar free doesn't necessarily mean carb free. I'm assuming you got the drink from a machine where there was no nutrition label available. This early on try to stick to things that have a nutrition label so that you can monitor the carbs.

Thanks everyone I am wondering if I drank it to fast. I am also going to look up the nutrition info for it to see if it's carby.

maybe it was the creamer/lactose.

Good point! I can not drink milk following this surgery so there may be lactose in it.

I read somewhere to avoid or limit certain sugar substitutes that cause symptoms. One I know is Sorbitol (believe it has "sugar alcohol" even though it is sugar/calorie-free. (If I find the list of others, I'll post them.)

Sorbitol is in the Italian Ices that I love. I was having one after each meal (like dessert). After I read that, I checked the ingredients and sure enough, the ices contain Sorbitol. So I only have one a day and eat it very slowly; so far so good.

But more than one or eating it too quickly, can cause cramps for me.

Good luck and hope you feel better.

The one and only time I dumped was like a week post op and I was still on pureed foods. On the list of my approved foods was Sf chocolate pudding. I was sick for almost 3 hours over that cup of pudding. My doctor said it was a sensitivity to sugar alcohol.
