If something is sugar free but has sugar alcohols, how many grams of those sugar alcohols should be considered too many?

This is just my experience at where you are I did nothing over 7 and today I dont do over 10 at a time or I dont need to tell you what can happen though different things happen to different people. So Id say ask your DR before eating or some of the others.

Thanks Melinda. I am not very familiar with the whole "sugar alcohol" thing. I am definitely going to be speaking with the nutritionist about this. But thanks again, for your reply!

I agree with Prissy on this one.  I try and stay around 7 - 10 at over 2 years out.  But, anything more and......well...... I'm dying. This may be soemthing that is trial and error for you.

Theresa I want to add here I will be 3 years out in Oct. and I ment to add that to the other post as well as this I can do regular sugars better than sugar alcohols like you know how some foods may have 5 grams or 10 grams. Sometimes I dont do well w/ alot of the sugar alcohols and like Jill has said it is trial and error w/ each indiv. so beware either or can happen or both. Im moderation with you and all new post-ops.

Good am Theresa, Personally I try to avoid as much sugar or sugar alcohol as possible. Frankly, it creates too much drama for my body. The effects it has on me are not worth it what so ever. In my opinion if I were you I'd heed what Jill & Melinda have mentioned. Stay between 7-10 if your body can even handle that. Hugs...

Hey Kat. Thanks for replying. I am going to ask my nutritionist about this but just wanted to get a general idea of what is too much. I still have SO much to learn and am trying so hard to soak everything in. Thanks again!
