Daily Topic:
Do you still "dump", and if so, do you know the triggers? How far out are you?
My Response:
I've dumped 3 times and all 3 had nothing to do with food.

The first 2 times I took my Dulcolax at the same time as my Tylenol PM.  Big mistake.  Nausea, heart palpitations, sweating, the pain in my stomach was so bad, DH though we'd have to go to the emergency room.  Anxiety?  Through the roof. I sat in the bathroom for 35 minutes wishing I could throw up or SOMETHING.  I curled up in a ball and once my stomach quit hurting I fell asleep.   The second night I was just testing to see if that's what caused the dumping.  Yep, exact same symptoms.  All I could think is the pills took up too much room in my pouch.  I switched back to taking my Dulcolax in the afternoon.

The third time I was looking for a cheaper way to take my calcium. HA!  I took 2 Citracal Calcium Citrate caplets.  I had the same symptoms without the stomach pain, but in place of that, I threw up.  Delightful!  Needless to say, I'm back to taking my more expensive chewables.

So far I haven't had a problem with food.  But I'm so militant with myself I've only tried two candies.  One was used for diabetics after WWII because of it's low carb/higher protein aspects.  Niederegger Martzipan.  I got 3 bars at Cost Plus World Market over Christmas and had 1/3 bar each day. (It's something my grandmother used to send every Christmas.)  I counted it as part of my calories/carb/protein for the day and I didn't have a bad reaction.  The other is Guylian belgian No SUgar Added chocolate.  They use Malitol and so long as I don't have much, I don't get the gassy/runny stomach issues.  They'r eboth expensive so I'm not tempted to buy it often.

New food to try:
Tofu Fingers from SparkPeople.  Their’s was a little plain so I used a premarinated version of tofu.
I had some pete's2go Sesame Ginger tofu in the refrigerator and tried it with and without almond flour coating. They're equally good! I liked the crispier ones better so I baked the second batch longer. I sliced them 1/4 " and baked them 20-30 minutes, turning half way through. These are so good!
