It does not make ME dump, but it DOES make me gassy! Horrible belly pains and flatulence!

Ditto 2 the gassiness & foul smelling flatulance, (soo embarrasing). I've given up on SF candies even though they helped with the constipation.

Sugar alcohols bother some post ops and do little to bother others. Most protein bars have surgar alcohols in them, and many post ops have one daily--so it can't bother everyone. You may have issues with certain sugar alcohols, where one or two specific ones cause issues and others do not. Dumping can be an issue with some post ops, but generally gas or diarrhea is the worst result. Dumping usually causes the patient to feel hot, have rapid heart beat, a lot of sweating, high anxiety feeling type of feelings. Diarrhea is not a typical sign of dumping for most patients, but can happen. DAVE

Some do some don't. Depends what it is and ho much.
The only one I can tolerate is erythriol. And that only up o 3-8 gr at a time. Less liquid - more in more dense foods.

So far, no dumping from them. Some do help me with constipation, though, like xylitol or sorbitol in large quantities.
