Sugar Question

What is the recommended amount of sugar grams per serving before dumping occurs? Also what is the recommended sugar alcohol serving? I stay away from sugar mostly, but it is in some of the foods that I eat. I have made it a rule from the beginning not to ever go over 16 grams of sugar and the lowest sugar alcohol I can find for anything, whether it be a protein bar or a vitamin drink, etc. I am curious where you all set your limits for sugar.

Carol, Can't answer because I don't dump...I think I have dumping envy though. Lori

I don't know either. I try to keep my sugar alcohols below 16-18 or so, though, too. Otherwise I get tremendously vile gas.

I stay away from blatent sugar all together (non-sf candy, cakes, cookies, etc.), so I'm not sure on the grams. But I think everyone is different, too. Michelle
