I think this was some serious dumping!

Wow Megan I really feel for you, must have been awful. I really try and avoid the sugar alcohol in high levels because it makes me really gassy and I feel unwell afterwards. I don't dump on it but feel bloated and gross.

Im sorry you had such a bad time.

Congratulations on your newest addition to your family!  It sucks when family is so far away; my husband is American and our grandchildren are in Georgia and Viriginia so I definitely feel your pain.

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with icecream.  As others have said it's one of those things that many of us can no longer tolerate.  I'm okay with a taste or two but anything more than that and I'm in agony. 

Chalk it up to another lesson learned the hard way.

 Well Megan, I am sorry that you experienced that. But, I really appreciate the warning. I am 2 weeks postoperative and have those cravings! What incentive for me to say "no thanks!". 
Thanks for the heads up!

Isn't it a great teacher? ;) No lectures about portions or choices just the consequences and the horrible gas afterward. I actually switch to the farthest lane while driving by the tasty ice cream store. lol

Chalk it up to breaking those bad habits one terrible experience at a time. There are many tricks in the bag of those who would fool you into eating the wrong thing. 

 

Are you sure it wasn't lactose intolerance? Gas, diarrhea? Sounds like a large amount of dairy. Just wondering.

I get a sugar rush from sugar alcohols, followed by a headache.  Not a fan of them.

I had the same experience. Cannot tolerate too much of it. I can tolerate maybe 1/2 a cup....if I really feel the need to try at all, which was maybe twice this summer.
