...I would swear I got damn close to it last night while eating hummus with red peppers.  Just goes to show you, when you think you have everything figured out... Pouchy fights back!  I didn't even get sick on anything in Spain... but hummus from the hospital cafeteria?  Grrrr....

Dang...just when I thought hummas might be a good idea ( after I was at goal)
I don't think I dump either , but haven't really tried too much to test it out.
Great job on the weight loss !!

 I can see how hummus might do it, esp. if they made it with too much oil or spice. 

I'm not a dumper either, though I wish I were. Yesterday I, too, had what might have been a brief dumping episode over overeating rice cakes. I'm dumb that way. I actually overate the previous day, and a tiny hair of the dog made me faint, nauseated, made my heart lurch, etc. etc.

What were your symptoms and how long did they last? Are you going to eat hummus again?

I have never watched my fat or oil intake post-op, and I don't have any reaction to spices... but I suspect it was something to do with the red peppers?  They tasted VERY sweet....

I will try hummus again without the peppers and see.  But then again, I eat peppers all the time too with no problem... maybe just this brand?  It was a pre-packaged hummus dip I grabbed at my work's cafeteria, called Sabra.

The symptoms I had... sweating, flushed, hot-flash, nauseous, heart thumping, blurgh.  I have eaten MANY more carbs than this post-op and not felt the way I felt last night LOL.

 I eat Sabra hummus and don't ever have problems with it.  

From the sounds of it your blood sugar took a dive and/or it was dumping.  What had you eaten before the hummus & red peppers?

Also, you may react to different types of sugars.. like I don't have any ill effects from dairy or fruit sugars, but I get a similar reaction if I eat too much refined sugar.

 sometimes dumping can come from a "plus one" occasion. As in, I'm fine with this item of food by itself but this plus this equals DUMP. also, your threshold may change over time. I can now do fruits but early on couldn't do most fruits at all, then could do half a serving (but one bite too many would be dumpsville) and now can do whole apples or nectarines just fine - but eaten in close proximity to something high in fat could be trouble for me!
