oh right; I remember what dumping feels like
absolutely bloody awful.
I was out in a very public place with my husband this morning and suddenly felt a terrible cramping in my intestines. Within minutes I was shaky and dizzy and felt that I had to lie down....next to a toilet. He got me home and I spent the next hour in the bathroom (i'll spare you the details, but both ends were involved). After a couple of hours in bed I felt well enough to carry on with my day.
I've dumped three or four times before, but the cause always seems to be different. My first was like 3 weeks out, after a quarter cup of unsweetened applesauce (!?). Second was after some really fatty fish. Another time was at work but I can't remember what I had eaten.
One one hand, it's good to have the very real reminder that overdoing it can make me sick. But I can't for the life of my figure out why it happened today, so that I could avoid it in the future. I didn't have anything I haven't had before, and nothing too sugary. My two theories are:
1. maybe my latte was accidentally made with full fat milk instead of skim?
2. maybe I had the latte too soon after my crustless quiche? both have fat...
Any dumpers out there who could advise what makes them sick? sugars? fats? too much food?

Hi Lisa!
I try to avoid added sugar for the most part but recently had a very nasty dumping from sugar alcohols. It had me crying for my mommy it was that bad! Eating even a fairly small amount of fat makes me feel ill and I'll usually throw up but nothing compared to that "no sugar added" piece of chocolate I had last week. I still can't look at chocolate or even smell it. It was so bad it was life changing. I do dump on a much smaller scale very easily but that incident has put the fear in me like nothing else!
Glad you feel better
