Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

I see this ingredient listed in a lot of sugar free candies or chocolate.
Does anyone know if it is a sugar alcohol and can it be deducted from carbs to make net carbs

I have no idea what it is but I would not eat anything that says hydrogenated on the list of ingredients.

Also, if it is infact a sugar alcohol be aware that alot of people find that they react badly to them.
