Sugar Alchohol

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

It's everywhere! That stuff gives me the worse gas, and I don't need any help in that department. I have gas all the time, no matter what I eat.

I just looked at the SF puddings, and it said splenda on the outside of the package, but sure enough if you read the label,

it said 9 grams ( or whatever it comes in) of sugar alchohol.

It's in most the Protein bars and I like Protein Bars.

Does anyone have any suggestions of good things that don't have the sugar alcohol in them. When Malitol is the first ingredient, I know for sure if I ate it, I would have to be home alone for the next several hours.

I try and stay away from splenda, Ive heard bad things about it. anything with sugar alcohols make my ass explode!!! cannot tolerate that stuff. I knoe Fiber one bars don't have sugar alcohols in it, but it does have sugar. Im going to try experimenting with stevia, its a natural sweeter that is made from a plant. it has something like 10x's the sweetness as sugar. I bought it at Trader Joes. I like it because it is not a chemical, it is a plant.

good luck,

Yes, I have stevia that I put on my Cereal in in my herbal tea. I hope they start putting it in more things.

That sugar alcohol is worthless! I can't be in the same room with anyone if it sneaks into my diet. I have to read labels of everything to make sure there is none in what I am going to eat. I wish they would just get rid of it.

Hey, what's wrong with some good ol' fashioned natural music? Just blame it on someone else in the room.

Some of those Fiber One bars contain partially hydrogenated oils which is like putting some health label on a Krispy Kreme box....

I can't blame it on anyone else. My daughter gets so mad at me. I have gas all the time and I try not to eat gassy foods plus I take Beano. She acts like I do it on purpose. If I purposely ate something with sugar alcohol in it, I might as well say I did do it on purpose. It's not stop for hours after I eat it.

I'd like to find a good Protein bar without it. Atkins used to have them, but now it's in their bars too.
