broke out in sweat and nauseous within mins of eating choc ...whats up with that

[Jester]

Anyone else experience that. Havent had choc in over 4 months didnt miss it but for some reason I felt like I had to have some choclate covered Almonds. With in about 5 mins of eating it i got sweaty and felt very nauseous. Was it a sugar spike or something. I never want that feeling again lasted for about 20 mins and went away

Oh I think that is "Dumping syndrome"... a large amount of refined sugar in the system at once, often followed by bloating and diarrhea. Just happened to me last week when I tried a milkshake. It went down fine, and 20 minutes later I needed to take something for nausea and take a nap. A good reminder that we have to approach sugar VERY carefully!! My sympathies!!

It happened to me when I ate some of my husband's ice cream cone... No thank you!!!! LOL

Wow, I'd forgotten about the danger of dumping syndrome after the sleeve. Normally, it happens more with Bypass'ers. Thanks for the reminder - and I'm sorry it happened to you! A lesson learned the hard way

I had just found this today:

There are two kinds of patient dumping: early and late. Both occur after a meal, especially after eating foods high in fat, refined carbohydrates or sugar (table sugar or natural sugar like that found in fruit)…
•Early Dumping Syndrome occurs within 30 minutes of eating a meal. In addition to eating foods high in fat, carbohydrates or sugar, it can also be brought on by eating foods that are too cold or too hot or by drinking liquids during your meal. Early symptoms include…
◦Bloating
◦Diarrhea
◦Dizziness
◦Heart palpitations
◦Nausea
◦ Rapid heart rate
◦ Sweating
◦Vomiting
•Late Dumping Syndrome is a form of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). When you ingest too much sugar, your now smaller stomach does not digest it properly so your intestines absorb and deposit too much of it into your blood stream. Your body compensates by releasing more insulin which makes your blood sugar drop. Late symptoms include…
◦Anxiety
◦Diarrhea
◦Dizziness
◦Fainting
◦Fatigue
◦ Heart palpitations
◦Mental changes such as problems concentrating or feeling confused
◦Rapid heart rate
◦Strong feelings of hunger (because your body craves more sugar to balance the increase of insulin in your system)
◦Sweating
◦Weakness

Interestingly, some patients' tolerance for the items which have caused dumping syndrome in the past can change with time. For example, some patients who cannot tolerate sugar immediately after surgery may be able to handle it in small amounts several years out.

That was very informative. i have had the "early" one happen a couple of times as a result of a sweet. yicky, really doesn't feel good

[Iwantads]

Thanks so much for sharing that information. I never really knew what "dumping" was just knew it could happen. That was so informative, thanks again!
