Has anyone heard this about Maltodextrin before?

I got my newsletter from Pacific bariatric yesterday and there was an article on post-op diets. It talked about high glycemic foods that can raise blood sugar levels and harm weight loss. It warned against items that contain Maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a corn based product that has been proven to raise blood sugar levels and is found in drink mixes or things in powdered form. Well, I looked at my Crystal Light packagfe and it is the 2nd ingredient. I trust my doctor and the PB clinic. I have been drinking a ton of Crystal Light lately and have been on a 6 week plateau. I am worried this may be contributing to it (among other things). If Crystal light is sabotaging me, what will I drink? Water is to boring. Do any of you have any thoughts on this?
