Who gets sick from these? I had a protein bar for lucnh and it had 27g of sugar alcohols, but only 4g sugar, I didn't think anything about it. But now I am flushing, sweating, and feel nausea, I'm assuming it's the sugar alcohols, what do you all think?

I would guess it's the sugar alcohols. Or maybe just too much sugar combined.

Laura, Yes, it's the sugar alcohol. My nurse told me it's ok to have suager alcohol, but no more than 8g. I hope you feel better soon. Kelly

Thanks Kelly, I'm starting to feel better. How many sugars do you eat at one time? Just wondering what your nurse said about the sugars since we're from different clinics.

I think the sugar alcohols are what they add instead of sugar to give it flavor.

That does not sound like fun, but I am willing to bet that it was the sugar alcohols as well. I usually avoid anything with sugar or sugar alcohol in the double digits. I am glad that you are starting to feel better.

Me,me I can't handle sugar alcohol at all. It's worse than regular dumping for me. I find that I have to stay away from anything with sugar alcohol. And stick with lower amounts of sugar.
