question

Are you eating sugar free foods that are designed for
diabetics? If you are they are made with Sorbitol and can
cause very bad gas and intestinal distress. So watch your
intake of products with Sorbitol listed as an ingredient.

I did go get some enzyme pills and will see if that helps.
It is called Zypan. Has anyone else had experience with
these and/or any of what I mentioned.

Thanks for your comments.

also, diet products with phenylaneline (sp?) can have a
laxative effect. i am fine with them, but my son has real
problems when i have them (i am breastfeeding). it took ages
for me to realise that it was the diet stuff (and we have
warnings on the labels here). i thought he had gastro.

In addition the Olestra in WOW brand chips give people "intestinal
distress". read: gas, cramping and other unpleasantries.

It's not the phenylalanine (that's just an amino acid - a
building block for protein), nor is it the
Nutrasweet/aspartame (same thing - artificial sweetener, and
the thing that causes the phenylalanine to be present in the
products) that causes the gastro troubles. It's the fillers
that are used in the products. Look for "maltodextrin" on
the labels. Diet Coke (contains Nutrasweet but no
maltodextrin) should not give you the problems, but diet
lollies (chewing gum included) probably will.

I used to eat pepsid like candy, haven't had one in over six months, I
figure I have saved enough in stomach remedies to almost pay for the
meetings. Lee
