Default Warning re Beano and Maltilol

Was just reading Dana Carpender's great cookbook last night "500 low-carb recipes" and she specifically says, in the section on sugar alcohols, not to use Beano as then you would digest the carbs. She also said that she has seen people gain weight this way.
I believe a member replying to this thread mentioned this also.
I still think that acidolpholus is good for restoring the good bacteria in the gut, after eating maltilol, and psyllium fiber--as mentioned by a previous member-- would be good to take to wash any "toxins" out, possibly before taking the acidolpholus.
