I've thought for years I must be allergic to dairy and/or gluten and low and behold it's sugar alcohols that were causing my problems the whole time!! I constantly chewed sugarless gum and downed protein bars (both products are chocked full of sugar alcohols) and I could never figure out why I was sick all the time :(

Only one week of no sugar alcohols and it's like a miracle has been performed.

Just a word to the wise for those of you who consume a lot of these. They don't do anything to some people, but some people simply can't handle them.

    yes, those make me sick too.

    Clif Builders Bars have no sugar alcohol, no dairy and have 20g protein, in case you're interested.

    blessings.

    Interesting! I am allergic and anaphylactic to six of the top eight. I've heard that too much sugar alcohol isn't great either. Glad you were able to find the source and feel better! :glasses:

    I eat sugar alcohols very sparingly ..one piece of sugar free chocolate, for example is no problem. More than that is a guaranteed quick and urgent trip to the restroom.

    True, but they have 20g of sugar in them....meaning I might as well eat a snickers bar :(
