Dumping? Maybe?

Well I think I had my first bad reaction to food.  Finished my bran flakes and about a half hour later started to feel really weak.  My arms and head felt like they weighed a ton.  Went and put my head down in a back office for about a half hour.  Reminded me of when my blood sugar used to bottom out, but of course I did not bring my glucometer to work, so I have no idea what my sugar level was.  Went to the bathroom.  Thought if it was dumping that would probably be the best place to be.  Spent about 15 minutes in there and gave up and came back to my desk.  About 10 minutes later had to go back and ended up having a rather explosive experience in there!!!  (TMI I know.. but seems to be the normal type of conversation around here!  LOL)

 

That was about 20 minutes ago and I’m starting to feel better.  I’ve had bran flakes every morning for almost 2 weeks.  I will admit though that I did not measure my cereal or milk this time and it looked like a bit more than usual.  (Normally about 1/3 cup and this time was closure to a ½ cup).  Is having a little bit extra enough to make you dump?  I had it with my usual 1 packet of Sweet N Low.. I really don’t want to have that experience again and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that its over!!!!  Was this dumping?  I didn't have palpitations or sweating.. just felt beyond weak really and gross all over.

 

Any advice, similar experience or wisdom appreciated!!!!

I have had a few very similar experiences. It always happened when I ate too much.

1/2 cup is what is on the diet outline from Guelph, so amount shouldn't have done it. Wonder what set it off.....sweet n low maybe?

I know.. that's why I wasn't worried.  I know it wasn't over 1/2 cup because that is all my bowl will hold.  I've had sweet n low every day too with it without a problem.  Maybe my body has just decided it doesn't like it anymore!  NOT a fun experience though!

Laura...I was having issues with dumping with my cereal as well...never thot it could be the "skim" milk....as soon as I stopped the skim milk, I was fine.  I have replaced it with the yogurt low fat/0 sugar, and my twigs, mornings with either fresh fruit or frozen blueberries.  Good luck....Patti K.
