Protein bars
BTW: I measured my BS after eating one of those bars and my blood sugar went from 90 to over 200 after eating it. That's how I knew for sure that my body process them as sugar. I don't get that reaction from Atkins bars.

Unfortunately you need to just get out there and read the labels. Go to GNC or a natural food store and read the labels and buy some individual bars and see what you like. I prefer quest bars. Maybe try some from GNC before buying on-line to see if you can tolerate them. I don't think they have any sugar alcohols. They are high in fiber.
Detour bars and Pure Protein bars depending on the flavor are low net carbs, sugar and sugar alcohols. The peanut butter Pure Protein bars in my cupboard have 2g sugar and 6g sugar alcohols per bar.
Atkins are low/no sugar but I think they are higher in sugar alcohols. I think the one with the highest amount of protein is 10 g per bar.
I love the ProtiDiet Crunchy Cereal Caramel Bars (they also come in Crunchy Cereal Choc). They are the best that I have ever found for taste/protein/carb/sugar/sugar alcohol. Personally I cannot stand a mushy texture protein bar, so these really fit for me! I order them from NashuaNutriton.com.
