Don't panic. You have a good chance that the sugar free candy will not bother you at all. I eat some of the lc Russell Stover chocolate from time to time with no problem at all. Everyone is different, so just see how your body reacts to it. The reason sugar alcohols are subtracted from the carb amount is because most people's bodies do not process them so they have minimal impact on you. If you over eat them they often have an unpleasant side effect of giving you gas and sending you to the bathroom for the rest of the day. It's like a built in portion control
Take care.
