Sugar Alcohol Warning for Newbies (aka flaming butt syndrome)
Just a friendly FYI for newbies. Just because something says sugar free, doesn't mean it won't make you dump. I'm withholding names to protect the stupid.. but I have it on good authority that if you get the munchies, and eat several sugar free cookies without checking the sugar alchohol content... well, in SOME people... it may give you a disease called 'Flaming Butt Syndrome".
Again, names withheld to protect the stupid.. but I'm told it can make you repeatedly run for the toilet, knocking people out of your way, where you then hold onto anything close to keep from lifting off the seat from the sheer explosive force, all while screaming insanely "never again, oh never again" while flames shoot out your butt. This experience thus renders the bathroom unusable to other family members for a period of not less than 15 minutes. Your dog may wander in, then back quickly out the door looking like you just beat him. Your wife may be angry at you for not leaving a warning sign posted. Children may cry.
Again.. this is just a rumor.

LOL, Lyrical! a/k/a "Batmobile Butt Syndrome" (remember when it would peel out of the Batcave, jet engine in the rear blazing away?) 
I have felt like that SO much of late down there after making a "#2" .. 
I generally find that if the product has that warning on the package about "excess consumption may have a laxative effect" that = leave it alone. 
btw, the offending alcohols, for those who don't know what else to look for, usually end in "tol", e.g. maltitol, sorbitol, mannitol, etc. 
The baking industry seems (for reasons explained to me earlier in a post about the issue) to still prefer to use it to cook sugar-free products, rather than Aspartame or Splenda .. (or even Saccharin)

Whey products have the same effect on people who are lactose intolerant. Remember the nursery rhyme about the curds and whey? The curds are used to make cheese which usually do not affect lactose intolerant people. Rather, the lactose is in the whey, the watery portion of the milk. Other people have the same problem with excess fats. You'll find out what foods bother you on your post-op journey.
