Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 My local HFS just started carrying Planetary Formula so I picked up a bottle of Stone Free without looking at the label and the first ingredient is sobital. It's a sugar alcohol and caused bloating and gas! Does anyone else here know of a better brand? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sugar alcohol and caused bloating and gas! Don't worry about the sorbitol in STONE FREE. It's really NOT the first ingredient, go re-read the label; there are massive quantities of TEN HERBS in the pill. Sorbitol is listed below as one of the binders. No tablet will stick together without binders Chemically-speaking, all sugars are alcohols and they only use a speck. You probably take in 1000X this much sugar in the average day, including some sorbitol (as in brushing your teeth with toothpaste). If you got " bloating and gas " from STONE FREE it's because those herbs kicked your butt (they are strong) and you should drastically reduce the dose you take (1/4-1/2 tablet at first) then work up to the full amount. Relax and experience a really fine commercial herb compound from a really great company. Stick with it, it works. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
