Grits / Dumping ??
So last night i decided to try grits as its part of my stage 2 Soft /puree after a few bites i felt as if it was way too heavy on my pouch so i stopped. 5min or so after that i was balling in pain and all biologic fluids begun to run along with gas and burping non stop. it lasted all night. It made me super weak. I am thinking this is Dumping ?? Has any one dumped on grits ??
Preparation of grits was with water no butter only a lil salt pepper and cheese .
I have stuck to my dr recommendations so this was very unexpected.
thank you in advance
NO, you are not dumping, you will sweat, your heart will beat out of your chest, you will get flushed, you will not vomit, YOU WILL THINK YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. Sounds like they did not agree with you , hit the intestines and they said "heyyyyy, NOOO" Sometime you eat to fast, swallow to much at a time, many reasons for this, I am sure i wouldnt try them for a few weeks again,

But i was flushed and sweating i did not puke but my mouth did water a whole lot.and i did feel as if i was going to die my heart did feel as if it was going to pop so much was going on. I was exhausted all day today. I will be waiting to try them aging maybe a few months down the road. I made them soupy and ate from a baby spoon and only had about 3 bites doubt that was too much. .. Thank you for your input . I sure hope that if its dumping or not that i never want to feel like that aging.
Although grits are carb heavy and therefore COULD cause dumping (since you added that you had the racing heart, etc. which you didn't initially mention), but it seems extremely unlikely that 3 bites of soupy grits would be anywhere enough to make you dump. Did you add anything to the grits?
Dumping usually does NOT involve vomiting, by the way (just for future reference), since it happens when the food hits the intestine. The food is too far down to vomit it up.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I disagree with the others - I think you did experience dumping. I dump on any kind of simple carb (including grits). While I could totally handle a small serving right now (five years out), it did not take much to make me dump early out. I consider this a blessing because, although I like sweets, I was much more of a bread/pasta/potato, etc. addict. I am sorry you had to go through that - I know how much it sucks - hope you're feeling better!

Any simple carbs can cause dumping for me. And grits most certainly do cause me to dump. I am almost 10 years out, and the only way that I can eat grits is to combine it with protein. I can only eat a very small spoonful even doing that. I have always been carb sensitive since day 1 from surgery. You may be that way too. It is trial and error when you are new out and trying to figure out what you can and can't tolerate. We are all different. It does get easier the farther out you get. Good luck. Sorry you had a bad night. I hope you feel better today.
Thank you ladies. I am feeling much better today. I spoke with my Nut and she said it is very possible that i did. I have been very sensitive since day 1 even to artificial sweeteners. I cant even have juice even if watered down makes me feel very sick but the grits made me feel the worse. I now know to be very careful with all that i eat.. Once aging thank you. Its amazing to me how we can all have the same surgery and all live very different experience .
