Hi there Joy,

I'm typing as fast as I can!

The hidden carbs situation is all about that pesky maltitol - aka one of the sugar alcohols.
According to Dr A, sugar alcohols have no effect on the blood sugar. Unfortunately, for some folk products with sugar alcohols cause definite stalls. They are a definitely a YMMV (your mileage may vary) thing.

If you go to "Low Carb Tips" on the orange bar at the top of your screen, you'll find more information about sugar alcohols.

With any luck, you'll be one of the lucky folk who is not affected by the sugar alcohols. Oh, don't think I mentioned they can also have a nasty laxative effect...

HTH!
