Put me on the no more SAs for me list. I think the 3/4 of the carbs as sugar is about right for me. The digestive problems are not the main problem for me. They cause some cravings and stall (more like cause weight gain) me significantly.

If you can eat one a day or less you are ok. And I did that for quite a while. But it started getting out of control. General rule - processed food of any kind is bad news.

Sugar alcohols are a killer for me. I get terrible cramping, on the toilet constantly, and makes me very gassy, especially the malitol, I guess being on the john all the time helps in losing weight LOL. I really have to read the labels before I buy any low carb chocolate, or even pancake syrup for that matter. I bought some of Steeles blueberry pancake syrup, didn't read the lable and had some and it was good but the after effects wasn't to pretty, it had Malitol in it. So now I have snacks that are like almonds, jello, I really have to read labels now.
