As a general rule, no. I believe there are some forms of sugar alcohols that are not digested or do not have as much of an effect on the body, but it is not true for all forms of sugar alcohols. And just as fair warning, sugar alcohols can frequently have...unpleasant effects on your GI system. Originally Posted by benice

I would treat that bar you posted about as a restricted, and pay attention to if it gives you an upset stomach.
