I dumped.....BIG time......on Chapman's sugar free chocolate ice cream.    My advice- never say never. I was fully convinced that I didn't dump, but I was wrong.  About 1/2 hour after consuming only 1/2 cup of sed ice cream, my face and upper chest got really flushed. My heart was racing, and I felt like I was burning up.  Then I spent the next hour or so on the toilet (sorry TMI).  Afterwards, I felt so groggy and drained, that I just went to bed.  Sooooooo not worth it, and will never touch that stuff again.  Lesson learned. lol

Oh no! On sugar-free ice cream!? Crazy. Joyce J. was saying that the mixture of artificial sweetener and dairy don't sit well with her, so maybe that was why you dumped? I had an issue with oatmeal last week... I had it with milk and a tiny bit of sugar-free jam and my pouch was very unhappy... don't think it was a full dump, but it definitely disagreed with me.

Glad you've learned your lesson lol!

You also have to watch the "sugar alcohols" in sugar free stuff, that sometimes triggers reactions in people.

Hi Joyce. So would it say "sugar alchohols" in the ingedients list? Just want to make sure I know what I'm looking for, although right now I have no desire for sweets due to last weeks oatmeal fiasco lol!

Look for anything that ends in "tol" for sugar alcohols malitol, sorbitol...These cause issues for lots of people.

funny- I have had plenty of things with sugar alcohols, but for some reason, the ice cream did me in.  It lasted only 1-2 hours, but man, it was a bad 2 hours!  lol  Another funny thing, when I woke up I had lost 3 pounds.  hahaha  I sure cleaned my system out!  Time to replenish my water and get hydrated.

Hi Marny

Now that is dumping..................... Sorry you had to go through that.
Many people don't really know what dumping is and when they vomit or feel ill they think they are dumping
Dumping is horrible LOL, only happened to me once

Hope you are feeling better

Bleah.  Not fun, hey.  Keep in mind, the CHapman's is "no sugar ADDED" not sugar FREE.

True, true, Karen.  I think there were 6 grams of sugar plus the sugar alcohols.  Just the thought of the stuff makes me wasnt to gag.  Guess that is a good deterent :D


BTW:  I know there is a coffee group meeting this week, but can't remember which day.
