Sugar Alcohols?

I was told to watch the amount of sugar alcohols in my foods as too much will make me very tired. Does anyone know if this is true?

Hi Patti, I've had sugar alcohols, they don't make me tired. Lisa

They don't make me tired but too many sugar free fudgsicles give me the runs...crampy ones too! I decided to freeze some of my protein supplement pudding in popsicle molds so now not only are "fudgsicles" guilt-free but instead count as a protein drink.

As long as I stay under about 5-6 grams of Sugar Alcohol I seem to be just fine. If I go above that I get the laxitive effect and on top of it too many calories. Never heard that it makes you tired. Actually, the whole point of sugar alcohol is that it has a no impact on blood sugar so it shouldn't do anything. Sugar on the other hand can make you first wired and then more tired later.

To much sugar anything or to much fatty anything and I am running for the toilet. No wonder they call it "Dumping syndrome" See ya Julian
