Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I experienced my first real episode of dumping and I am here to tell you I don't wont to ever experience anything like that again. The bad thing was that I did not even realize that I was eating anything wrong. I ate a little chek party mix {cereal kind} and chips at granddaughter's birthday, I could expected something if I had eaten birthday cake but I didn't. Later ate some chicken and rice and I guess it was just too many carbohydrates. In just a couple hours got very sick, I almost pasted out and then I had to run to the bathroom with diahrea. That was the sickest feeling I have ever felt. I will be very careful that I don't do that again. Take it from me you don't wont to dump. I am almost 11 months post of and this is my first time. A.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Hi Pam, I know that we are not to eat a lot of starche but rice is a Big staple in this end of the country. I have eaten rice 2 or 3 times a week for the last 10 months and never had a problem until now. A. B. LAP RNY 3/22/03 Dr. Steve Weinstein, MD.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 My Doctor told me that rice will expand in your stomach as water hits it and we should never have it or we could have problems. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I only dumped once and it was from eating a rather small slice of watermelon. I thought I was going to die.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Pam I think it depends on your doctor. I am allowed rice. But as with all carbs in very small amounts. Like a tablespoon.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I too was told not to eat rice. Rice does expand in the stomach...why do you think they don't allow it to be thrown at weddings anymore? Cause when the birds eat it, it expands and blows them up (poor buggers). I don't want to take that kind of chance especially with a high starch/carb food....just my own humble opinion. T.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I can tolerate some rice, but don't push the issue.

That is why the birds die is because the raw rice absorbs moisture and then it swells up, but what we eat is cooked and therefore it does not swell when eaten.
