    LOL TRL! :laugh:

    Sugar alcohols taste sweet but aren't nutritive because we can't absorb them. Some people experience gas/diarrhea/bloating when they eat sugar alcohols. Other people are not sensitive to them. Just eat a little bit and see how you feel first. :smile:

    Ah there you go with the humour again......lol

    ps. there is no option to add sugar alcohols in the "add new item list".

    Um, all that comes to my mind is bad gas and bloating! :sick: That is the effect it has on me, anyway. :laugh: I have learned to have only teeny tiny portions of anything with sugar alcohols in them.
