Default Sugar Alcohols - revisited

A colleague bought sugar free Gummi Bears from an online establishment.

Gleefully I ate about 1.5 servings...and suffered for it.
Each serving has 30g of sugar alcohols and wreaked havoc with my digestive system.

Sometimes we need these experiences ... those Gummi Bears just don't look very good anymore.

All the SF candies will give you the "trots" if you eat more than 5!!


Good lesson learned!

Yikes!!!Found this out the hard way today!!! am a true egg hater and stayed in Phase 1 for 4 weeks eating my eggs every morning but avoiding the yolk (or in my case yak...) well this morning I was so busy packing my lunch while eating breakfast that I didn't notice I ate the yolk and yes 3 seconds later it was the yak....don't know why but my big ol' bod just rejects them in a BIG way ....shuffled off to work feeling miserable and one of my coworkers gave me a few sugar free life savers to get rid of the taste in my mouth so 6 SF lifesavers later and about two hours later off to the bathroom to feel like I would never return ...needless to say I ate nothing today which does not make me happy but has taught me that eggs and sugar free candy are DEFINITELY no longer my friends - wish I had read this thread YESTERDAY!

Nubby: Can't you use the egg beaters and then you don't have the yucky yolk. I use them all the time, and also make an omelette out of the pasteurized egg whites. It is pretty good, just looks strange.

I've found for me if the sweetener is manitol I'm okay but sorbitol is a whole 'nother' story. Sometimes with the constipation that comes in phase one having a sf candy is not all bad. Better than Milk of Magnesia.: Lizzzie
