Default Dreamfields Pasta - laxative effect?

Has anyone else noticed this? Mild, in my case, and not unwelcome. Supports their contention that many of these carbs are not digesible, I guess. This was the first pasta I've had in 2 years - boy, was it good!

Lots of fiber plus sorbitol, a sugar alcohol infamous for its laxative effect:

Ingredients: Enriched semolina, [semolina, iron (ferrous sulfate), and B vitamins (niacin, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid)], fiber blend (inulin, guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, pectin), sorbitol, wheat gluten, potassium chloride.

I have eaten this paste 3 days in a row, it has not effected me at all. I've even made sure to under cook it since at first I was worried I cooked it to long. Guess my body is different and doesnt react the same way most people do.
