Just saw this article regarding xylitol causing extreme low blood sugar and liver failure in dogs. Be sure to keep your sugar-free goodies out of their reach!

    Thanks for the link. Now I know what xylitol is. I now see why it and all sugar alcohol hurts some of us.

    "If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or an intolerance to FODMAPs, then be extra careful with sugar alcohols and consider avoiding them altogether."
