The sugar alcohols in the candies especially are powerful LAXATIVES! Watch the serving size and NEVER exceed it.

In my opinion and experience, it is really best to stick with real food from the Induction list. The bars and candy should be a sometime (not daily) treat. I know they say that the bars are OK for Induction but a search of this site will show dozens of threads where people stalled until they stopped the bars and candy.

Psyllium is the cure for both constipation and diarrhea. You can get capsules of psyllium husk powder in most health food stores.
