ACH! Maltitol!!

WOW! I found the hard way that I can't tolerate this stuff! I bought a "candy bar" at Traders Joe's made from this stuff. I had what they consider "one serving" and had to make a run for the bathroom in a few hours! I guess I'm a little slow because I didn't realize that this is what caused "the problem" so the next day, I had another piece (a little smaller than the previous days serving) and again a few hours later.... Needless to say, I learned that this can be a problem and I obviously can't tolerate maltitol!

I'm sorry to hear that maltilol has such an extreme effect on you. I am lucky that it doesn't bother me and it helps me to be able to have the occasional candy bar and still remain in ketosis.

Ooops! Sorry, Julie! Hope you are able to stay away from the bathroom today!

The new Hershey sugar-free chocolates have lactitol in them instead of Malitol. I know it my friend who had the same problem with the malitol didn't with the lactitol. Maybe you could try those? I have the reese's cups and they're delicious!

Sorry to hear about the trouble! I'm like that with the lactitol in the Hershey's...well, I can have one serving, but not any more than that or I have trouble. Good way to keep myself in check I guess.

Give the Hershey's a very careful try though....just one piece or something.

Well, I can't wait to try one and see what everyone is talking about!
