marfar7 1,533 Posted February 20, 2013 I started Atkins about 2 1/2 weeks ago (I've now lost about 12 lbs) and thank God for Atkins bars and sf jello! I haven't cheated once and I'm now in the pocess of adding more carbs into my diet (almonds, avocados, etc). However, I was wondering if any of you Atkins bars fans have a rumbly tummy and gas and diarrhea after eating them? This past week or so, my tummy has been upset, not nauseous or anything, just upset. I've cut down to 1 Atkins bars a day and I still have tummy problems. Is it caused by having no carbs or the bars? Love the bars (they have 1 that tastes just like a Payday -yummo) but can't stand the tummy ache anymore. What do you low carbers enjoy for sweets (beside sf Jello - I eat that daily also)??

m1aman 944 Posted February 20, 2013 Some of the bars tear my stomach up good so I avoid them. Others I like. The Payday one doesn't bother me but the Reeses cups are murderous on my innards. I bet it is the bars that are getting to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holly Dolly 575 Posted February 20, 2013 It's definitely the sugar alcohol! I have to limit myself on Protein Bars now. I know some of the Quest Bars do not have it. GNC carries them and also you can find them online. 1 DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2012 359 Posted February 20, 2013 Quest bars are awesome! And don't forget about sugar free pudding, I just made some Pistachio tonight. And I love, love, love almonds and blue diamond has all kinds of flavors like chocolate mint, coconut, butter toffee (these are a little too rich for me, but they were good).
