Meet my pouch... The Gremlin:

You are still healing - so who knows. Dumping is good. Be glad you have it...

I'm glad the thing is still with me, because it keeps me focused on what I should stay away from. Unfortunately, sometimes things that I *think* are okay get me anyway, though.
I'll tell you what -- one thing that gives me horrific gas is SUGAR ALCOHOL! Not a little toot, mind you ... I'm talking major! lol (Sorry!)

Dump...ahhh why do they have to make it sound so nasty....
I havent had what anyone describes at this point as dumping but that could always change...there are foods I have not incorporated back into my diet so I still hold out that one day I might have it...
I have learned one thing....no 2 days are the same after the surgery (at least at this point)
Really, at one month---I wasn't eating anything with sugar in it at all.
I didn't dump for 4 months---because I was staying on plan. With protien first and following plan---there was no dumping.

From WebMD. The symptoms of lactose intolerance
"The common symptoms of lactose intolerance are gastrointestinal, primarily,abdominal pain, diarrhea , flatulence(passing gas), and, less commonly, abdominal bloating, abdominal distention, and nausea. "
But even skim milk has sugar. It has 12 G of sugar. So I'm not sure if I'm dumping on milk or milk sugar but it really doesn't matter. Milk caused the immediate "dump" for me, but milk products, including my whey based proteins can make me nauseous. I take acidophilous and use soy milk in my shakes and that works to avoid any nausea.
I'm also assuming I dump on sugar-----it makes those stray cupcakes that pass in front of me look unappealing.
Honey is concentrated sugars. I don't ever expect to be able to have honey again.
Nutrition facts for honey:
• 80% natural sugar -- mostly fructose and glucose. Due to the high level of fructose, honey is sweeter than table sugar.
• 18% water. The less water content the honey has, the better the quality of honey.• 2% minerals, vitamins, pollen and protein.
Our pouch doesn't care what form of sugar we ingest. Lactose (milk sugar), sucrose, fructose, glucose---all sugars, all have the potential to cause a "dump"
