But still there was a tiny bit of disturbance. But would your idea explain why fermentation increased immediately after the addition and then dropped right down before recovering? | |

I think the mixing I'm assuming you did when you added the DME/Dex knocked some of the CO2 out of suspension in the beer. The yeast continued to produce CO2, but instead of coming out of the airlock it was just re-saturating the beer. Once the beer was re-saturated with CO2, it started coming out of the airlock again. | |
