I just HAVE to learn the hard way...

...to really learn the lesson, apparently...

Today's life lesson (at least for me) is this:

NO...repeat NO sugar-free Russell Stover Peanut Butter candies...

Not dumping, but the sheer volume of malodorous gas ought to get me consideration by the U.S. Army as a lethal option in its arsenal of chemical warfare....good lord!

Dude. I eat those when I can't poop. Problem solved.

 for both comments

 Good thing to learn.  When I was doing Atkins a few years ago, I got so hooked on those that I practically defeated the purpose of being on a diet at all.  So, I won't eat those buggers for anything anymore, no matter how much I NEED something sweet.

aren't sugar alcohols wonderful?

 Ugh!

Oh yeah!! I could handle sugar alcohols before surgery, no problem. Even made fun of my hubby when he snuck a bunch of my sugar free chocolates but had to confess when he couldn't get out of the bathroom. LOL. Now, the joke is on ME! Can't have a single candy without the whole world paying for it!

Good thing that I was the only one in my department in the afternoon...the graphics manager is on vacation, the graphic artist leaves at 3 and my boss left for they day at around noon....

I laughed to myself when I read your post! THEN I went and had a 1/3 cup of Carb Smart Chocolate ice cream.. no sugar, 4 gr carbs.. sounded good. OMG! I just about gassed myself out of the bedroom when I went to bed! Thank goodness my hubby was watching the news and missed the noises and smells!! LIVE and LEARN! I ate that without giving it a second thought-- even after reading your post--- equals-- stupidity on my part~ sigh~

I wonder sometimes if I'm the only one here who hasn't had any problems with southwardly wind. My gas always comes up. I end up belching like a bar drunk. But it never moves downward. o.O Odd.

Glad you were by your lonesome today, good sir. Could have made for an embarrassing afternoon.
