The crazy carb thing has passed and I seem to be back to normal. I was wishing that I would dump and it might straighten things out, well my wish has come true. But its a crazy thing...very crazy.

I cut out some of the foods I was eating, but find now that if I don't eat every 2-3 hours (at least something) that I get nauseated, light headed and then followed by the true classic dumping signs. Hmm... this get me thinking with this anal brain of mine. Is it low blood sugars or is something else going on. So starting today, I am writing everything down again for a while and see if I can figure out why. I am not complaining...really...I am SO happy that I dump, but the dumping symptoms are not happening 1-1.5 hours after I eat, they are about 3 hours or so. Hard to put into words, but yesterday for example, I dumped 2 times. This was my day.

B- 9am - 1/2 banana, oatmeal with flax and bran, splenda...no milk, 1 baby bell cheese
Normal liquids from 10:30-11:45am

11:45am, hot sweat, lightheaded, had to lay down

12:30pm - chicken on whole wheat bread, lettuce, tomato (total 1 piece of bread, without crust and about 3oz of other food as listed)

3pm - still felt a little lightheaded so had protein drink 23g of protein and had a 1 hour nap

5pm - awake and drank 16oz of liquid, did some light housework and started to make supper

6:30pm - shrimp with veggies, craving spinich - so spinich with feta cheese, melon for dessert

8:30pm - started to feel hot, went to lay down - full blown dump, sweat for 10minutes, soaking wet, then cold, chills. Had 12 almonds and piece of cheese. Layed in bed and slept until the alarm at 6:30am the next morning.

Who knows whats going on, and people around me have never seen me dump like this before...I never have pushed it and when it does happen its few and far between and at night. I wonder if my body is asking for something or withdrawl from me wanting all other foods recently (the period ended about 3 days ago).

Regardless...its a guessing game.
