Question Other Names for Sugar/Carbs

Hi all!!! Does anyone know where I can find a list of ALL the names for sugar/carbs? I'm not talking about just the obvious ones like sucrose and fructose. I mean ALL the names. I searched the net for 2 hours last night and couldn't find a list.

I have some questionable ingredients in my vitamin/herb supplements that I'm either not sure if it is sugar/carbs or if the small amount in the vitamin will hurt my diet.

I have been looking for supplements without questionable ingredients but it seems that all the ones I need contain glycerin or maltodextrin or something else.

Here is a list of questionable ingredients in some of my vitamins:

maltodextrin
cellulose (vegetable or microcrystalline
dextrose
glycerin
gelatin
magnesium stearate/vegetable mag. stearate
potato starch
croscarmellose
gluconate
rice flower

Do any of you have any info on whether the amount of any of these items in a vitamin will throw me off track? I take several supplements with these ingredients and I take some of them 3 times a day. So, it could really make a difference. The problem is that I am taking all these things for a reason, I can't just stop forever.

A complete list of sugar names would be a HUGE help. Also, if anyone knows of a company that makes vitamins and herbs without these additives, can you please tell me?

Thank you so much!
