I will read these when I'm at home.

But I will say one time I bought sugar free candy with malitol and never bothered to read the "warning" on the back that said it may have a laxative effect. ${#emotions_dlg.crying}$ I ate a couple of pieces and DH and I went out to a bar with friends. Needless to say, it was an early night! ${#emotions_dlg.blushing}$

I read it out loud to my dh this morning and the tears started running down my face again. I could hardly continue I was laughing so hard.

The trumpets, the starfish, oh my!

PS: WOW chips by Frito-Lay used to have a similar effect ....(olestra)....

That one is the funniest and most clever I think ( the star fish trumpets one) OMG, fun to laugh , feels good. no wonder laughter is good medicine (: .most of The Atkins desserts are sweetened with maltitol, and the new one that is a dupe of the chocolate covered peanut candies that "melt in your mouth not in your hand" are surprisingly good and it is hard to not eat too many of them, but they come in little packets which helps with the portion control (;

Oh my goodness! I learned the hard way with sugar-free Russell Stovers. My friend described the aftermath of sugar-free (especially Splenda) ""explosive diarrhea!""

I love the Atkins bars but I had to stop eating them because of the gastric issues they caused. I had one at work one day & I thought I was going to die. I was cramping badly & I couldn't let the gas out because I worked in a cubicle environment. I held off as long as I could but I finally had to go to the ladies room. I prayed no one else was in there, did my business, & got the heck out of there so the stench couldn't be traced to me. I haven't had an Atkins bar since.Now, if I want a chocolate bar, I have one that's sweetened with sugar but that's a rare treat for me.
