Is this “dumping” ?

Hi All !
I was just curious about something I experienced last night. I had
eaten some pasta and two small meatballs for dinner. Immediately
afterwards, my heart began racing and I could feel the adrenaline
rushing thru my body. This lasted for about 15 mins and then I began to
get the shakes and then I fell asleep. I felt like I was gonna die!
Could this have been a re-action to the carbs in the pasta? I dont want
to experience that again!!
Thanks for any advice that you can pass along.

    Did you use sauce on the pasta? If so it could be a reaction to the sugar in
    the sauce. Most — the vast majority in fact — of tomato products have
    sugar in them. Which could cause you to dump. It could also be a carb
    reaction — again causing you to dump. If I were in your shoes I would avoid
    it for a while. And the next time you try it do not have it with sauce. Just
    eat the spaghetti and see if it gives you the same reaction. Or just try a
    little sauce that you had on the pasta and see if that was — though looking
    at the bottle could help you out as well.
