I went crazy last night when I went into Walgreens to pick up some D3 and B12...saw sugar free candy and thought, nice treat.  Had two pieces last night and everything was good.  Brought chocolate covered peanuts today and went a little overboard...oh boy!  It was not pretty.  Searched sugar alcohol on OH.  Then I read the other bag from Werthers:  Excess consumption may have a laxative effect. 

Lesson learned.  Everything in extreme moderation!

 you should post this on the constipation thread.  ha ha...werthers..chocolate covered peanuts..numm.  the only problems i have had with any foods is chocolate..i haven't tried for a month or so now but chocolate milk or hot chocolate (all sugar free) did not sit right in my little pouch.  haven't had any sf candy at all though accept some sf mints.  

 Yes, I posted something in a thread called GAS.  

Not pretty.

I learned all about sugar free candy a long time ago, even before I thought about WLS! lol Not pretty! Moderation is definitely the key with that!

that gas, the pain... the runs... ouch...

SA= fart, fart, Oh, **** !!!

The gas pains and the smell,  for me is not worth the treat...

I bet the SA in question was maltitol or something lik it.  Not all SAs are the same.  They are hard to find, but there are sugar free chocolates that are sweetened with erytritol that cause me no such problems.
