Ok, I asked a question in someone elses thread and got ignored, so I'll try once more. I feel invisble when I ask questions here.

I just opened a bottle of GNC L-Glutamine soft gels. I read the label when I bought it and it said no sugar, starches, or carbs. One of the ingredients listed is carob. Is it something I should stay away from? Is it a type of sugar? They tasted a bit like cocoa when I went to swallow them and am concerned that there is something in them that could pose a threat to my weight loss. I did look up carob on fitday and only found carob chips and powder and carob laden goodies. I am about 2 seconds away from panic after looking it up, as the carbs in everything with carob were high.
