“eats a bag of potato chips is at risk of that anyway.”

I can do that easily and will do so if somebody gives me a bag of chips. It’s not even a challenge ;)

God damn it. That happens to me with Xylitol and Maltitol. Guess I just have to suck it up and not eat sweet stuff.

Are those sugar alcohols the only ones giving you trouble? Did you get tested for Fructose malabsorption?

Interesting, but that sounds like a thing I wouldn't want to treat! Less fatness eh?

I replied to your post because I started having similar troubles, went to the doc and I tested positive in several issues, being the main one that I have Fructose intolerance.

Hope that helps, but better if you don't need them!
