New Dumping
Ok, so I have dumped once before on a taco. The other night at work, dumped again. Now I am really careful what I eat at work, because dumping is just not condusive to my schedule of taking care of patients. I ate 1 oz of honey nut cheerios (which I have had before), and 1 mini box of raisins (which I have had before). Unfortunately I have never had the 2 together....and I never will. Not sure if my pouch just didn't like the cheerios again, or perhaps the combination of the 2, but I sure did have the cramps and diarrhea!!!!!. I really hate feeling like that, luckily it passed quickly, and I let my pouch rest for quite a few hours after that.
I guess I will be more careful with new "combination" foods in the future!!
Thanks for letting me rant

That sounds like too much sugar - I would definitely dump on that combo. I don't even have to guess there, I have no doubt. Raisins are a bad one for me, I stay away from them in all forms now after my last episode.
When doing combo foods I'd really recommend mixing it up so that you have a good combo of protein with your simple carbs, instead of 2 carbs together. Something I've found is that even when I don't dump, if I have a meal that is mostly carbs or at least higher in carbs than I normally go (grains, potatoes, rice, pasta, fruit) I will get wicked sleepy and detached from the world. If I have those things in combination with a good protein source its much better. So with your raisins have a string cheese or with your cheerios have some yogurt (low sugar yogurt) - that kind of idea.
I dumped on some home made tortilla chips last night. I shouldn't have had them at all but if I'd had some beans or meat or cheese with them I probably wouldn't have dumped. Having them alone did me in. Honestly now I am thankful that I dump. It was hard to get the hang of eating at first and not knowing what was going to get you, but now that I know it definitely helps me stay on track and when I don't stay on track my pouch definitely reminds me!
Good luck!

I know what you mean. Combination foods can make me sick and/or dump for some reason. I was just explaining that to my mom last night. I was eating dinner and thought about having two things, but then stopped myself because it never works out for me. I have to eat one or the other. I know that sounds crazy, but it's true. I can get away with combo'ing some things, but for the most part I stay away from doing that.
Speaking of dumping - I have dumped on two things since my surgery and I will never, ever eat either of them again. One was when I was shopping with my mom and we stopped at Chipotle. I got a Burrito Bol and they put the rice on it before I could stop them. I ate a few bites and then when we were in the Galleria I got so sick. When I dump I get extremely cross and pissed off. I can't even explain how my personality changes. I don't have cramps or diarrhea, it affects my levels and makes me feel like I'm about to die. Literally.
After that I will never put another morsel of rice in my mouth, I can assure you.
The second one was a few weekends ago - again, I was shopping with my mom. (Can you see a pattern here? It's impossible to go all day without eating and it's impossible to plan a lot when you're going to be gone all day shopping. And of course, the food available to you is not what you can eat, so I end up trying stuff. Ugh) Anyway - I got some no sugar added frozen yogurt. Mother of all that is holy. It was terrible. I was a complete basketcase. Again - I got extremely cross and pissed and I had to go to the car and lay down. And I guess it goes without saying that I will never touch frozen yogurt again either.
Dumping is just no fun. I almost force myself to eat the things I know won't make me dump because I dread that feeling so bad. However, like you all know, sometimes you dump on things that you've had before or didn't expect. I've dumped on a few other things, I think, but these two episodes were the absolute worst.
