Ilovejacks

Hi,I'm 5 weeks in to this and started coming across alot of things that have Sugar Alcohol in them. I just looked it up and i read it to say that they are like carbs.I love the sugar Free puddings but, they have the Sugar alcohol so, just wondering if i should steer clear of this ingredient.Thanks in advance for any advice or shared knowledge:)

If you are not familiar with sugar alcohols--be very careful not to consume too much at a time--they can create a lot of gas and even intestinal cramps.
