Sugar Alcohol

[SleeveShelly 75]

Are we supposed to watch this as well as sugar?

Nope, your body cannot absorb sugar alcohols. But be careful! Too much of it can cause bloating and painful gas. It also can have a laxative affect. Sometimes i'll have an Atkins bar if my chia seeds and Miralax don't work. :-)

Thanks!! I found a Protein Bar with 20 grams of Protein, 0 sugars and 11 sugar alcohol. I wasn't sure if that was bad.

You are welcome! I'd advise you to eat only 1/4 or 1/2 of it and wait 24 hours. I always feel the symptoms of too much sugar alcohol in about 8-12 hours. What's the name of the Protein bar?

Those are pretty good. I have not had any post sleeve, but had them pre sleeve. They are really filling too.
