Glad I'm not the only one...

I can have 1 serving of the SF Reese's cups safely, but the one (and only) time I had the whole bad- it was trouble. Usually, though, they just give me lots of gas.

What's scarier yet is that Russell Stover's has this affect on me after only 1-2 pieces. I tried their pecan clusters (Turtles) one time and it about killed me.

I think I read somewhere on here that if you have a "gassy" or "runny" reaction from these candies (or any sugar alcohols), you body is not storing or processing them as sugar. Basically our bodies are just disposing of them at their earliest and quickest convenience. (Hopefully that made sense.)

We should keep this stuff in glass boxess w/the tag "Break glass in case of emergency."
