Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 both my son(23) who had never had surgery and my grandson (age 5) ate a bunch of my sugar free cookies with... you guessed it....sugar alcohols and had such bad cramps that we nearly took the little guy to the hospital, til he had a couple rounds of diahrea and " decompressed " I have found that even tho they supposedly don't have the same effect as carbs the sweet taste fires up my taste for more and more and more. SO, I decided not to keep them in the house. most of the sugar free cookies, candies , etc. have little or no nutritional value so for the sake of eating well and preventing malnutrition, and keeping the weight off i have made the decision to avoid them. Also in the case of sugar alcohols they have a ton of calories. I do eat things occasionally with splenda (preferred) or nutrasweet(less preferred.)
