Does anyone know how many grams of "sugar alcohols" is safe as to not have dumping?

I bought some sugar-free Log Cabin syrup but it lists "sugar alcohols" on the label.

Any info would be helpful!

Thanks!!

I don't believe that sugar alcohols will promote dumping, but many people suffer from digestive distress when ingesting them.

By which I mean absolutely nuclear horrible gas, which can clear a room and destroy families.  If you decide to use sugar alcohols get a dog so you can blame the stink on it.

Good luck.

Lynn, you are soo funny, lol, but I couldn't agree with you more! I do have a dog...I think I will bring her in next time I have sugar alcohol. My poor family still love me...stinky and all! They just say, "mooom"! I just say, "sorry"! 
Thanks for the laugh!

It's great revenge for all the times they grossed "Mom" out, huh?!

Seriously, try Devrom, a substance that removes odor from your vapor releases.  Available online, but check different vendors because the price can vary widely.

Good luck with the dog!  I've heard of some dogs that slink away with disgusted looks!

 Yeah, I second the "digestive distress" thing. Maybe not as terrible as dumping, but not very fun either. My NUT suggested less than 10g.

I strongly recommend "Devrom", available online.  Search several retailers because some are much less expensive than others.

It has absolutely saved my life, and I keep it on hand for emergencies.

My NUT also told me that in a small percentage of people they will cause Diahreah(sp*).
