How much fat are we suppose to have per meal before it causes us to dump?

My NUT told me try to keep fat below 5 grams per serving. Same for sugar - try to keep it below 5 gms/serving. I'm 5 months out but still find that if I exceed either of those, I will get very gassy and nauseous, sometimes even get diarrhea. Good luck.
