hi All

Well its happenned a 'dump' and I can say it is the worst hour of my life.

I had a new protein powder for first time - syntrax matrix vanilla - sugar/carb free
added soem frozen fruit as I do all to protein shakes - within 10 minues I was sweating ,nausea and banging head

then terrible diarrhoea, cramps, I had to lie down and then as fast as it happened it went

NASTY NASTY NASTY

Hi Liz, that's awful. Sorry I can't help - but it'll be interesting to see if anyone else has had this problem. Zxx
 
awwwww poor you hun ... at least now you know its working and what it feels like ..... nasty stuff .... xx
 
Yes at least it's working - just rest afterwards if it make you feel weak until your strength comes back, it's still early days and you are doing really well - take care x
 
Hiya,

I dumped at 3am this morning.

Yesterday at 4.30pm I had 3tsps of low fat natural yoghurt with 1/2tsp of strawberry jam stirred in.

At approx 7pm I went to Starbucks and as I am sick to death of tea, coffee, water etc. I wanted something 'nice'. Barista suggested a frapuccino but I declined because it was 'full of sugar'. He offered a sugar free option. So I had a 'sugar free' vanilla frapucinno - with cream on top.

At 3am this morning I woke with tremendous cramps, as if someone was punching my stomach in and wringing my bowels out. After a while of sitting on the loo, where I sweated but was shivering with 'cold', I felt nauseous and then my bowels opened. And then some.

I have met the delightful Phatgirl (Nic) today and she tells me that we shoud be careful of 'sugar free' options as our bowel still treats and processes them as if they were sugar. Malanol (sp?) and Sorbitol are examples of these.

So, lesson learned there for me! O and I think the cream may have also had a part to play, though I didn't eat all of it.
 
Eweghh... sounds horrific and I'm glad you've come out the other side. I'm dreading it when it happens to me for first time.

Is there any upside to at least having experienced it?

Only if you learn from it!
 
Confused as to why you dumped! Checked the nutritional value of the shakes and there is nothing there to make you ill. Did you have anything else within a couple of hours before the shake? What did you blend it with, milk or water?
 
Hmmmm. This ones got me wondering now! The shakes do contain sucralose, which is the same stuff they use to make splenda. There is a slim chance this could be responsible for the dump but I'd be suprised!

If mixed with milk it could be that you're becoming lactose intolerant, which can be a side effect of the bypass for some.

Stumped!

It was and we did! It was a fab meet and I think Brum will be having another one in a couple of months. xx
 
Hi
I mixed with water and crushed ice and 2 cubes frozen mango, 5 frozen raspberries and 2 slices frozen nana
hadnt eaten anything since am which was 1/2 weetabix and skimmed milk and have had OJ but that has been fine all week - could it just be that protein powder was too rich in flavour ???? it was a strong flavour compared to my usual brand

just had some ready brek and i feel fine now

Really not sure Starry! Might be worth checking if the other brand you have been ok with had sucralose in it.
 
thanks Shel - will do - know scared to death of drinking the thing I know I need more than anything !!!!!!!!!
 
I have never heard of sucralose causing dumping but many people become sensitive to sugar alcohols (malitol, sorbitol - all sweetners that end in ol). I would think that the OJ + lots of sweet fruit could do it, even though it is natural sugar it was an intense serving over a short span of time. Remember oj is powerful stuff and will make your blood sugar rise, that is why people are offered it after giving blood. It could be the combination of oj raising your internal sugar and then all the other fruit put you over the top. It is early days yet and your sensitivity my decrease in the next few weeks.

Nic:p
 
thanks - can you dump many hours later then - I thought it was quite a fast thing - so if I had some OJ am I could dump many hours later ?? that may be it xx
 
Yes dumping can occur hours later or immediately. I believe someone, Silver Surfer I am pretty sure, posted about the different types of dumping. I think I'll try to find it.

Richard, are your ears burning, lol, I keep digging out your old threads today!

Nic:p:p
