I have terrible side effects with Maltitol! At my local GNC I bought these Carb Slim bites and they had a new sugar alcohol in them called Erythritol. They have Choc PB crunch and Choc Caramel crunch and they are sooooo good! I had no side effects at all with this candy. I'm usually miserable after a choc treat! I would strongly suggest anyone on Atkins give them a try!
