Please explain
No, it's not the same thing. Sugar alcohols are basically artificial sweeteners. They have fewer calories than real sugar.
Will it have the same results? Do you mean in terms of dumping? Not necessarily. Some people don't tolerate sugar alcohols well but some do. Some people also tolerate sugar just fine.

Here is the equivalency of sugar alcohol to sugar... sugar alcohol = 1/2 sugar. So divide the sugar alcohol by 2 and that is sugar content. But like everyone on here has said... some people's body reacts differently to them. I have read that the most sugar alcohols bariatrics patients should have is 10 grams per serving.
I hope this helps,
