Subject: RE: [GastricBypassVanderburghIN] Sugar Alcohol
The sugar alcohol may be what gives me the gas and cramping that I get sometimes when eating sugar free baked items. I’ve also had problems with no sugar added ice cream, but it seems random. I’m trying to figure out why it will bother me sometimes but not other times. I can eat a regular ginger snap or oatmeal cookie and be okay. I think because those type of cookies don’t have as much sugar and what it does have is the brown sugar. I can eat the splenda brown sugar blend on my oatmeal every day and it doesn’t bother me at all.
Any one else have insight on this? I really need to get to some of those support meetings and listen to what others are saying about this. I don’t want to “try” sugar foods in case I am one who can tolerate it. I’d just be in trouble then, know what I mean?! Lol
I’m already a potato chip addict.

Subject: [GastricBypassVande rburghIN] Sugar Alcohol
Sugar Alcohol is in sugar free foods.. it's the artificial sweeteners
like polyol, polyhydric alcohol, or polyalcohol and other types of
sweeteners. Equal, splenda and sweet n' low do not contain sugar
alcohol. For diabetics this is good stuff and my brother swears by one
of them and just couldn't understand why I wouldn't try it. Sugar
alcohol works on us gastric bypass patients just like sugar does so
beware. The dietician at St. Mary's told me to add the sugar and sugar
alcohol together... so if there was 5 sugar and 5 sugar alcohol that's
fine, but if it goes over 10 grams to stay away from it.
I've noticed a few times that the sugar and sugar alcohol levels per
serving were over 10 grams (I can have more then 10 grams now... yea!)
but that the serving size was like 6 pieces. No way was I going to eat
6 pieces so it was ok.
