Sugar Alcohol?

[Uniqueladybug 80]

I was wondering if sugar alcohol has caused anyone to get sick? I was thinking about getting some sugar free candy but was scared to try it. I'm 2.5 weeks post-op.

Thanks for this thread. I have noticed a lot of sugar free stuff have sugar alcohols and I have no idea if that's ok.

When you're in the full eating stage it would work but, sugar alcohols can make you...umm.. well have to go to the bathroom if you take too much in. Laxative effect for some folks. For me if I have too much that does happen.

Definitely wait until you're in the right eating stage though.
