Has anyone else experienced bad tummy problems after eating one. I was so excited because it tasted good but oh my I can't stay away from the toilet. Could it be these bars? Or maybe I am sick! Would love to hear what ya'll think!

I have never tried the Carbo-lite ones but on most if they are made with malitol they state that it may have a laxitive effect. It happend to me when my fiance thoughtfully bought me a box of Purdy's no sugar added chocolate truffles. I went a bit nuts not having had any chocolate for so long. I read the back of the box and that is what it said. The Atkins Advange chocolate too I think.

Many of the different types of bars contain maltitol. Which can have a laxitive effect.
"Maltitol is a reduced calorie bulk sweetener with sugar-like taste". Not all of the carbolite contain it but many do. I don't know too much about the other sweeteners that are used.
Be sure to keep a close eye on those ingredients so you can tell which ones give you problems.

All I can say is I have never been so miserable. It has to be the bars. Never again and I bought a 6 pack!

No, you aren't sick. It's the bars, definitely! Some people react to maltitol w/bad tummy aches and trips to the bathroom. I get extremely gassy. Good luck on your LC journey!!!

I had my first one of those today. Someone at work brought one for me because everyone else was eating real chocolate. I have never been so gassy and miserable in my life. They sure tasted good, but the after effects are not worth it.

Hey, maybe I lost a few pounds after all that time I spent in the bathroom!
