Well, to date, I haven't experienced any dumping, but I think (I'm not sure though) that I had a mini-dumping episode today.
I ate 2 pieces of chocolate candy (well under the recommended serving size due to the number of carbs in a full serving) but I would say maybe 15 mins after I ate it, I developed a headache, got incredibly sleepy and fell asleep on the couch, and was awakened by my stomach and had to run to the bathroom for a BM. That's all there was to it, but I still have some of the headache and want to go back to sleep..
It could be a coincidence, but I am not the type of person to just 'pass out' sleeping like that, it was like.. I'm sitting here watching a movie, and the next, an uncontrollable feeling of sleepiness and having to sleep.
What do you think?
