Dumping on some s/f items???

[Guest guest]

What kind of sweetner were they using in the s/f stuff? Is there

anything listed as sugar alcohol either in the ingredients or on the

nutritional info under carbs? There is a sweetner that is used in

diabetic stuff that has a laxative effect. I think it is sorbital but

not sure. Sometimes it is listed as a sugar alcohol

The cheesecake is sweetened with Maltitol, (I checked to make sure

after the first dumping episode.) The bar is sweetened with the same.

I've had these bars numerous times with no problems, then boom, today,

I feel light-headed and just plain sick like I want to return the bar

to the toilet.

By dumping I am not referring to any type of bowel incidence, I am

referring to the light-headed, sweaty, fast heart beat, feeling of

nausea and wanting to lay down. Nothing involved at all with the lower

end of the digestive tract.

I second what Lori said. The only SF candy or cookies that do not give me

diarrhea are the ones sweetened with Splenda. They do have some recipes for

desserts on the website, but you have to be careful, because some of them

add things like applesauce and molasses (is that weird or what?). They do

have the sugar grams listed at the end of the recipe, so that helps.

Actually applesauce and molasses are used a lot in the old diabetic

recipes. They are natural sweetners (provided no sugar has been added).

Granulated sugar is actually processed and often was not recommended.

Besides the applesauce also adds fiber.

Thats strange that you are having a reaction to it when you didn't

before. The symptoms you are talking about sound more like hypoglecimia.

This is usually because the blood sugar has spiked and then plummeted.

Sometimes it is just because your blood sugar plummeted. I'm not real

sure how it would relate to the bars except that maltitol is similar to

sorbitol. It could just be you reacting to the sugar alcohol. But I am

merely speculating here.

This wasn't a lower intestine issue, it was light-headed, nausea,

basically a lot like hypoglycemia without the anxiety. This is what

every episode of dumping i've ever experienced has been like. Though,

there are times when I had that + the other.

A thought just occured to me, what if it isn't the maltitol but rather

the fat content of these items? Hmm, never happened to me before, but

there is always a first time.

All of my dumping episodes in the past have mimiced hypoglycemia minus

the anxiety. Rarely have I ever had the intestinal problems that some

seem to get. Everyone I have been in contact with says the same, it is

like a low blood sugar attack, but different. I think the only time

I've ever had the full gamut of problems was when I ate a beef frank

and when I had Wisconsin Cheddar soup from Schlotsky's, (because they

add sugar to it, I think.)

Did you, by any chance, eat these on a totally empty stomach, like

maybe first thing in the AM? I find that, occasionally, I'll even

have mild dumping symptoms after a protein shake first thing in the

morning. It's almost like my stomach wants me to lightly prepare it

for anything I may put down there. Tiny bites throughout the day

seem to keep it stable, but that's just not always possible.

Now that's a thought. That sometimes happens to me when I eat to much

fat.

I just checked the sugar content on a jar of natural, no-sugar-added

applesauce. It has 12 sugar carbs per 1/2 cup. That is twice as much as

the rule-of-thumb for sugar. I pretty much stick with no more than 6 gm of

sugar per 1/2 cup of anything. If I go much higher than that, I get

attacked by the carb monster.

If there was only a small amount in a recipe and no other sugars, it would

probably be fine. Personally I am afraid to have a jar of applesauce in the

house, because I really, really like it.

>> Thats strange that you are having a reaction to it when you didn't

before.

Nah, not so strange -- happens to me all the time. One time, maltitol works,

another time it doesn't, and when it doesn't, it's just like sugar dumping.

I can eat a sugar-free candy bar today and feel fine, and a week from now,

the exact same product will make me dump like mad. No rhyme or reason to it

that I can figure out.

For some strange reason though, I seem to react much more to

supposedly low carb, sugar free items.

=====================================

:

Even before my surgery I used to get cramps and have to run to the

bathroom from s/f items made with aspartame, saccharin, Sugar Twin,

Equal, etc. If you eat too much of these items, in some people they can

cause a laxative affect and in our case, we would think its dumping. The

only sugar substitute I can use without any problems is Splenda and

that's because its made from sugar and not man made. Don't throw in the

towel so to speak on s/f items. Try to find the ones sweetened with

Splenda. This may help you.

I'd rather eat an apple than have applesauce. Besides, then you can have it

with peanut butter.

My experience with this kind of thing is that there is either a lot

of fat in the food or I'm having a reaction to the sugar substitute.

I totally steer clear of the sugar free ice cream...that's a sure way

for me to feel completely miserable!

Good luck!
